Heartening the public to continue fighting the good fight, Minister Simon Harris took to Twitter last night to remind people that there is still a long way to go when it comes to containing the spread of Covid-19.
Asking that we “redouble our efforts”, he encouraged people to think of someone close to them and use that as further motivation to wear a mask and continue adhering to public health guidelines.
“Wouldn’t we do anything for family? What if your mum has a lung condition & is doing everything she can to keep well during #Covid19?Well, mine does. So when I keep distance, reduce contacts & wear my mask, I do it thinking of her. Think of someone in your life & do it for them.”
Adding that we managed to come together and work to change the trajectory of Covid-19 before, he reiterated that August is just as important a month in fighting the virus.
“We are not powerless. For our families, friends & country, let’s all redouble our efforts. We must. We can’t not. Stay safe.”
This comes after the Department of Health was notified of 200 additional cases of Covid-19 yesterday – bringing the country’s total number of cases to date to just over 27,000.
