Now that there are at least nine active cases of the novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19) in Santa Rosa, the Village Council has decided to restrict travel to and from the Region One community for a six-week period.
Secretary of the Santa Rosa Village Council Debidi Williams told Stabroek News that the measure is being taken to ensure that no one else from the community contracts the disease.
Thus far Region One has recorded 11 confirmed cases of the deadly respiratory disease. The first confirmed case, which was recorded in Mabaruma, has since become a recovered case.
