hotspot for COVID-19 infection. We urge all members of the public to practice COVID-
19 infection control and prevention measures. For all the positive, suspected cases and
contacts of confirmed cases, we strongly advise that the public observe all isolation and
quarantine protocols and avoid mingling with other people until one has been cleared by
the attending COVID-19 health care providers. We discourage all unnecessary
movements and prohibit gatherings of more than 50 people per any given point in time.
