The Ministry of Health called on the public to continue to follow the preventive measures so that we can protect the most vulnerable in our society – This includes wearing of masks, social distancing and hand hygiene.
Unfortunately with the forthcoming increase in tourist numbers we are likely to see a proportionate increase in new cases and if we do get into the UK green list this week we may well be out of it very quickly as has happened to Portugal!
