Active COVID-19 cases in Region Ten have significantly decreased, dropping from over 150 to 11, and this is a result of a collaborative effort by residents and officials to curtail the spread of the virus, Regional Chairman Deron Adams has said.
For months Region Ten managed to keep the number of COVID-19 cases to a minimum but during the latter part of 2020 this changed as the region began detecting COVID-19 cases at a fast rate. Hopeful that they would be able to contain the outbreak before the yearend, regional officials launched a ‘Wear a mask for Christmas’ drive and a sensitisation campaign. They also implemented stricter enforcement of the COVID-19 measures but according to Adams, all this would not have worked if residents hadn’t decided to cooperate and adhere to the COVID-19 preventative measures in place.
