“Our response teams are treating the development of cases in our informal areas with the urgency and seriousness it deserves, following up with every contact and ensuring isolation,” says Winde. “We appeal to the public to not stigmatise this virus – no one is immune, and we ask for understanding and assistance to those in need of help. Mostly, if we are break its spread, we need to be open about it.”
“These stats again demonstrate why abiding by this lock-down is so essential. If we are to #stopthespread, we must stay home, in our homes, and limit contact with other people.”
