The Village Council of Aishalton, Region Nine yesterday imposed a one-month lockdown on the community after confirming nine cases of COVID-19 in the village.
“There are now 9 confirmed positive cases of COVID-19 in the Deep South Rupununi in Aishalton village. The village council asks that everyone remain calm, and please do not stigmatize those who are tested positive,” the South Rupununi District Council (SRDC) said on Facebook yesterday.
