While our defense systems are proving to be effective in catching and isolating the disease at our borders and on our shores, we can never be too confident. As we have seen, one misstep can have catastrophically rippling effects throughout our small population. We must work together, if we are to ultimately win the battle against this deadly disease.
As we continue to welcome our returning residents and visitors, we urge everyone to comply with the mandates of the State regarding testing and quarantining. Your personal responsibility ensures Grenada’s immunity. Practice good hygiene, maintain physical distancing of at last six feet, and wear your mask or face-covering when out in public.
