Government must be commended for pandemic response

Dec 10, 2020 Letters

Dear Editor,

The COVID-19 cases currently stand at 5,665 at the time of penning this letter but cases of persons who have recovered are 4,749 making this situation manageable and not problematic for the authorities here.
They must be commended for successfully taming the beast that the pandemic could become dreadful and deadly, killing thousands if left untreated or allowed to spread throughout the country. This milestone was accomplished by prudent management, testing and largely compliance with the curfews and the advice of the Government.
The central Government quickly managed to access funding and resources necessary to ensure Guyana was ready for the fight against this world-pandemic. The fight to stay alive and healthy spills over until Guyana gets its vaccine and, even then until everyone becomes vaccinated.
Therefore, please heed the curfew and stay away from large gatherings and crowds where they can be avoided. Buy your liquor and drink at home where it is possible amongst four persons that you know, six feet apart. You do not have to leave and go out to have fun for the holidays. When the year 2021 comes, you’ll be here and ready to go through it, happy and safe.
Be responsible and think twice about what you are doing this Christmas! I want to say a special thanks to all the doctors and nurses that kept us safe and gave us the will to fight on.
Yours truly,
Baldeo Mathura
