While frontliners continue to exert their efforts to curb the virus spread, the Ministry of Public Health (MoPH) reminds everyone's important role to play in the ongoing fight against COVID-19, through three main actions: 

• Getting vaccinated, including having the booster vaccine when you are eligible without delay (including pregnant women) - vaccination protects you and those around you. 

• Isolating yourself from other people if you have signs and symptoms of COVID-19 and getting tested if needed.

• Adhering to the precautionary measures including wearing of masks, social distancing and regular hand washing, as well as adhering to COVID-19 restrictions.

MoPH calls on the public to support its ongoing efforts and play their part in fighting the pandemic by getting booster vaccine dose and following the precautionary measures.
