Covid-19 cases have been increasing by the day, even after two full months of lockdown since 1 June.

Just yesterday (4 August), the country recorded the highest number of deaths at 257 bringing the death toll to 9,855.

We hope that as more people get vaccinated and that the Covid-19 situation will begin to improve slowly and surely.
