Permanent Secretary for Health, Doctor James Fong wishes a sincere Eid Mubarak to all those marking this joyous occasion safely at home.

He says Eid, the festive occasion that marks the end of the Holy month of Ramadan is tomorrow.

Doctor Fong says for most every year, this is a three-day celebration spent with family and friends; a time for those who celebrate to spend gathered at the same table, and to pray together at the mosque.

He says this year must be different.

Doctor Fong says we cannot gather, not in mosques and not at the homes of our friends and family.

He says we must stay home and only interact with the members of our own households.
