As we continue with the phased reopening of the country, the risk for introduction of COVID-19 has increased. The public is once again advised on the adherence of the public health measures that have been recommended. These include the use of face masks in public and maintaining safe physical distance from others. We continue to advise on the importance of maintaining the standard recommendations for infection prevention and control, which include regular hand washing of soap and water or alcohol-based hand sanitizer, where soap and water is not available. Cover your mouth and nose with disposable tissues when coughing and sneezing. The Ministry of Health will continue to provide further updates as they become available on COVID-19.
