If you agree thatCOVID-19 has kept us separate for far too long, we invite you to join us in continuing fight against the spread of the virus. So, don’t let your guard down!

We do our part by providing you with accurate and timely information regarding the spread ofCOVID-19 and the actions to be taken for the prevention of the spread.

Protect yourself and others from COVID-19:

●      Always practise good hygiene ,including washing your hands regularly, covering your coughs, and cleaning the surfaces you come into contact with.

●      Where possible, maintain physical distancing. If you can’t, wear a mask.

●      If you experience any symptoms, such as fever, runny rose, cough, and shortness of breath, get tested immediately and self isolate until you receive your result.

●      Check exposure sites and get tested if you visited ones. By scanning QR codes when you visit public places, you allow contact tracers to alert you should any positive cases be found.
