Our heartfelt condolences to their families and friends.
This now brings to 74 the total number of those who have succumbed to the disease.
We want to thank & pay tribute to our healthcare workers for this success. This demonstrates that, with good management, this disease, when clinically manifested, is curable & hence not a death sentence.
It is however disturbing that a few of our people have reverted to business as usual. Some of our people are not wearing masks, or are wearing them improperly. This is unacceptable; Dr. Rashid Aman.
We must all wear masks to protect ourselves and our loved ones or risk being infected or infecting others. We must take personal responsibility in this fight; Dr. Rashid Aman, CAS Health.
We are cautioning entertainment joints that have opened to full business without observing the social distancing rules.
