The Ministry is currently investigating the possibility of an epidemiological link. This new case now brings a number of active cases currently in care to 74. All cases are stable and there are no cases requiring critical care. In summary, over the last week, from Friday, October 30th to today, Senusha has conducted a total of 1,056 tests and from those recorded a total of 20 cases of COVID-19 during this period. Most of these cases were captured through the contact tracing process. This information is very meaningful to the public and useful for the Ministry of Health in our management of the current outbreak as it indicates that we are managing clusters of cases. This also indicates that we prevent further spread of the virus by identifying the positive COVID-19 cases who are linked to previous cases. As efforts continue by the public health team of the Ministry of Health to conduct health education as well as to conduct contact tracing and the testing of individuals, we make an appeal to every individual to continue regulating their movements and behaviors to reduce the risk of exposure. In leaving to go to public places, please maintain a high level of alertness. Be sure to ensure that you have your mask and your hand sanitizer as these two items are effective in preventing the transmission of the virus. In addition, upon returning home, it should be a priority to immediately wash your hands with soap and flowing water, making these a habit with helping reducing the spread of the virus. Let's continue to practice the guidelines to reduce exposure to the virus. Always wear a mask if you are in public. Maintain the separation of six feet from others. Wash your hands frequently with soap and water or use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer. Seek medical care if you are experiencing respiratory symptoms such as fever, cough, shortness of breath or sore throat. Avoid contact with persons with respiratory symptoms. Ministry of Health and Wellness, we will continue providing updates on COVID-19.
