We anticipate new cases as we continue the process to identify, test and isolate further contacts. As we proceed with the necessary public health interventions, a serious appeal is made to the public to cooperate with our health officers and to practice daily the behaviors which can protect your health and safety. We remind every individual that 80% of persons who have the virus experience mild symptoms. As such, it is important that we all remain vigilant and respond promptly to any symptoms of concern to avoid further spread of the virus. The Ministry of Health, we take the opportunity to remind the public to adhere to the infection prevention control measures, ensure that a mask is used always when going out in public, maintain a safe physical distance from others when out as well, wash and sanitize your hands often throughout the day. If experiencing flu-like symptoms, seek medical care immediately at the closest respiratory clinic. We also want to remind the business places to ensure that all of the protocols that are in place to keep your patrons healthy are sustained.
