Movement restrictions lowering daily infection rates

We note with some hope that both the daily rate of new Covid-19 infection and the positivity rate have been declining over the past few days. This Wednesday saw 4,280 new reported cases, down from 4,559 on Tuesday. Experts believe the recent "strict" lockdown and restrictions on movement have contributed to this trend. They, however, have stressed the need to continue to adhere to health guidelines such as wearing masks and maintaining social distancing, which may protect against a large outbreak of the new variants of the coronavirus.
