The health service has urged the public to remain vigilant and adhere to preventive measures, including wearing face masks, maintaining social distancing, practicing good hand hygiene, and seeking medical care when experiencing symptoms such as cough, fever, or difficulty breathing.
GHS reassured the public of its ongoing efforts to manage the situation and emphasized the importance of community cooperation in curbing the spread of the virus.
