Aman said in case of a resurgence of infections in Eastleigh the Government will not hesitate to put new measures again to contain the virus.
He said they are aware of the situation in informal settlements, especially their economic status saying they are considering different approaches to deal with the virus in such areas.
The CAS advised the elderly to remain at home saying they are the most vulnerable and if one has to attend to some matters they should always wear a mask.
