Region Seven currently has 58 active cases of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19).

Regional Health Officer Dr Edward Sagala in a statement yesterday noted that COVID-19 is very much present in the region especially in Bartica and the lower Cuyuni-Mazaruni area.

“In spite of this fact, we are now experiencing a relaxed and carefree approach by our residents, as persons now seem to have no regard for the National COVID-19 prevention measures, indulging in much social gatherings and disregard for the wearing of face masks,” he stated.
