The Civil Defence Commission (CDC) is continuing to provide families within vulnerable communities across the country with supplies as the country is currently under curfew due to the COVID-19 outbreak.

On Sunday, the CDC, which is a part of Guyana’s National COVID-19 Task Force (NCTF) commenced the distribution of relief supplies through the National Emergency Operation Centre (NEOC) which include masks, hygiene products and food supplies to assist those in need. The commission through the NEOC will work along with a number of stakeholders including the private sector to mobilise the supplies to persons who are directly impacted by the measures implemented to aid in the fight against COVID-19.
