Limited public awareness campaigns on COVID-19 have been done in Moraikobai, in Region Five since the start of the pandemic and the sudden increase of COVID-19 cases in the isolated community is a result of residents’ skepticism about the virus’s presence in the village as majority of them who tested positive are asymptomatic.

This was disclosed by Moraikobai Toshao Colin Adrian, who told Stabroek News in an interview that although residents are aware that COVID-19 exists, they do not believe that the virus has made its way to the community.
