Residents of Jawalla, in Region Seven, are concerned that the community might have a potential COVID-19 outbreak after persons began experiencing symptoms of the virus a few days after a major three-day gathering was held in the community.
According to a resident, who did not want to be named, the gathering occurred some two weeks ago with over 300 persons from surrounding communities, including Waramadong, which recently recorded multiple cases of the virus. The majority of the attendees were elderly persons and it was alleged that persons did not adhere to any of the precautionary measures, such as physical distancing.
