He noted that there are now three active cases of Covid-19 being treated by health officials. Contact tracing and tracking have been intensified in order to halt any community spread of the virus.<\/p>\n

The Cabinet continues to implore the people and residents of Antigua and Barbuda to abide the rules requiring the wearing of masks, the practicing of social distancing, and the frequent sanitizing of hands.<\/p>
