Permanent Secretary for Health Dr. James Fong

The Permanent Secretary for Health, Dr. James Fong says they will not rush into implementing new measures for COVID-19 as it will not serve any new purpose.

Dr. Fong adds he cannot see how he can close all New Year’s parties and gatherings anytime soon.

He stressed this when asked by Legend FM News on the impact these parties and gatherings can have as they can easily be COVID-19 super-spreaders with reports that cases are escalating in all divisions.

A number of New Year's events have been planned in popular nightspots, taverns and bars around the country.

Dr. Fong is currently touring health facilities and communities in the Northern Division.
