Some Region Three residents not as vigilant as before over COVID-19

Even as the number of infections continues to skyrocket in Guyana, persons still continue to function as if the COVID-19 pandemic does not exist. As of October 8, Region Three has recorded 248 COVID-19 cases and is shown to be the fifth leading region in Guyana for coronavirus infections.

Region Three is the third most inhabited region in Guyana with 107,416 residents. However, what is even more intriguing is that residents of Region Three traverse Region Four, especially the city, more than any other region in Guyana. Region Four accounts for almost half of the country’s cases which has left residents of Region Three baffled as to whether there may be many other cases that remains unknown, After all, logic suggests that with so much exposure to the most infected region, there should be more cases of infection.
