He mentioned that all previous issues have now been resolved, and payments will be effected from the end of June adding that the insurance package for health workers is still in place. "Whilst we appreciate the efforts of our health workers, I continue to urge them to remain professional and compassionate.

These are the weapons of our battle" The sitting president advised the populace to be keep their guard up at all times, and see to it that sooner, rather than later, COVID-19 becomes nothing but a blip on our forward march to sustained development, progress and prosperity. "I have been very encouraged by how our religious leaders have supported and embraced the fight against COVID-19, despite their concerns with some elements of the prescribed safety protocols and guidelines.
