My people as you can see the number of infection is quickly raising. This trend is going to continue unless we all start acting responsibly by following the health protocols.

The best remedy for this virus it to stay at home. If you have no reason to be on the street please stay home.

We cannot say that we are afraid of the virus but yet we throwing parties inviting people from outside your household. We cannot be walking the streets without mask or with our mask under our chin.

We cannot continue to be hanging out on the street corner with others drinking.

If it is that you do not care about yourself, at least do the right things for those you supposed to love and for the old and most vulnerable among us.

We all have a responsibility to act responsibly and when we fall short of that responsibility we put ourselves and others at risk.

Together let us work to fight back against this virus. If you think you are infected please go to the hospital get your swab done and quarantine yourself until the results are out.

If you have tested positive, please remain in isolation until you are cleared.

Blessed Sunday to all. Remember lets stay safe by adhering to the health protocols.
