This is a very dangerous situation in Guyana and I join with the Rt. Hon. Minister of Health by encouraging my fellow Guyanese to have the vaccine as it is the most reliable mode of protecting yourselves against Covid19.
In the present circumstances it is my view that persons remain very vigilant and do so by avoiding unnecessary crowding.
Please remember to take responsibility for your health.
