With over 200 active COVID-19 cases in the Rupununi, Region Nine officials are working to promote inoculation efforts in the hope that by the end of August at least 85 per cent of the adult population will be vaccinated.
Stabroek News spoke with Regional Chairman Bryan Allicock yesterday and was informed that the region currently has 238 active cases, and with that number increasing daily, authorities are focussed on trying to get residents vaccinated as quickly as possible.
