Through frequent contact, updates and exchange of information the minister said it is important to let the public know that there is a collaborative effort between the ministries to take preventative measures in keeping the Coronavirus “out of our shores”.
“It's not only a government [Ed: effort], it is also in combination with the population that we will maintain the virus far off shore,” said Gordon-Carty.
