The Ministry of Health wishes to assure the general public that the following measures are being taken to restrict the spread of coronavirus: in-depth contact tracing in an effort to effectively assess the persons with whom the three cases would have interacted; quarantine and monitoring of contacts as indicated; The Ministry of Health – in particular – and Federal Government in general wish to remind all citizens and residents that every effort is being made to prevent the spread of this virus. |

Let us work together to maintain and protect the health, wellness and quality of life of our people. May God be merciful to us all. December 5, 2020 Office of the Chief Medical Officer |
