A recent survey of local knowledge and attitudes to the novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19) has recommended that authorities practice more transparency in their management of the disease so as to build public confidence in the country’s capacity to effectively deal with the pandemic.
“A Rapid Survey of Knowledge, Attitudes and Practices Related to Covid-19 in Guyana”, which was conducted by a team of volunteers working with The Consultancy Group (TCG), has found that while a significant percentage of Guyanese are aware of the symptoms of COVID-19 as well as methods to prevent transmission, they lack confidence that the local health care system has the capacity to effectively deal with the disease.
