Appeal:
- Since all cases that have been detected till date are imported and all individuals coming into the country are kept under mandatory quarantine for 21 days, we would like to request the public not to be alarmed about the recent spike in cases.

- However, we would like to reiterate on the need to practice good personal hygiene, effective physical distancing and proper cough etiquette at all times.
