The last case was a repatriated COOS National and was recorded on June 4, 2020. Testing results received on the weekend indicated 44 negative test results. A total of 1,356 tests have been carried out to date. As of June 15, 2020, the curfew is imposed from 12am to 5am each day. Also, some social activities, including parties, picnics and receptions are allowed with the established physical distancing and public health protocol. The Ministry of Health and Wellness alerts the public that as we open up the sectors, the risk of transmission increases. We can reduce this by ensuring the public health and social measures are maintained. We also anticipate new cases, however, if we all comply by the guidelines and maintain them, the possibility for transmission is minimized. One of the recommendations included the use of a face mask or scarf when going to public places such as supermarkets. The face mask or scarf may be used for source control by reducing potential exposure risk from infected persons during the pre-symptomatic period. The mask is needed for use when someone is less than 6 feet from others, as in the supermarket and other stores, and in such situations. The prolonged use of the mask does not cause carbon dioxide intoxication, no oxygen deficiency. Face masks should not be used in the following situations, that is, driving a car, especially if you are a lone or if immediate family, riding a bicycle or motorcycle, walking on the street when alone with no one near, during exercise or gym or running, with family members or group of friends when seated at a restaurant. Also, students who are seated 6 feet apart can remove the mask during class time. Wearing a face mask is complementary. It does not replace the recommended preventative measures. So as usual, we ask that everyone continues to sanitize their hands by either using hand washing or an alcohol-based hand sanitizer. Also to wear your mask during daily activities when you're out, maintain the 6 foot distance. Also be sure to cover your mouth and nose when coughing and sneezing. These simple and inexpensive actions will make a meaningful difference in preventing the spread of infection. As always, the Ministry of Health and Wellness will continue to provide regular COVID-19 updates as received. Thank you. Bye.
