The Department of Health has insisted on the need to intensify preventive measures against Covid-19.

“At this moment, the data alerts us to adopt control and prevention measures, aiming to reduce the epidemiological situation”, stated the secretary. Recommendations include washing your hands regularly, covering your mouth and nose when coughing or sneezing, seeking a healthcare facility if you experience respiratory symptoms, wearing a mask if you experience any flu-like symptoms, maintaining isolation if diagnosed with Covid-19, drinking plenty of water and keep environments ventilated.
