Health Minister Dr Frank Anthony yesterday said he believes there is currently no need to have a lockdown in Bartica despite the recent increase in COVID-19 cases in the town.
During a COVID-19 update, Anthony stated that the ministry will continue to monitor the town and the region at large.
“We are going to continue to monitor and if we believe, based on the epidemiological findings and so forth and if we believe there is a necessity to do that, well then we will do that but at this point we don’t believe that that’s necessary,” Anthony said.
