Public Health Minister Volda Lawrence yesterday urged persons to protect themselves from the novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19) by covering up their mouths and noses when leaving their homes.
“Protect yourselves from these invisible droplets that are responsible for this infectious disease,” Lawrence appealed during the ministry’s daily COVID-19 update yesterday.
The minister noted that despite having countless precautionary advisories in place to mitigate the spread of COVID-19, persons are still breaching protocols and behaving as though they are immune to the disease.
