The coronavirus (COVID-19) situation in the Upper Takutu-Upper Essequibo is becoming difficult to manage.
This is according to regional officials who are pleading with residents to adhere to precautionary measures and guidelines that were instituted to curb the spread of the disease.
In a statement on Sunday, the Regional Health Officer (RHO) Dr Naail Uthman had this to say, “Let me start off this update by pleading with the entire Region Nine to be more responsible. To take COVID-19 a lot more serious. Residents! The regional situation is becoming critical. It is becoming increasingly difficult to manage and monitor the increasing number of cases and contacts.”
