Public urged to strictly adhere to cautionary advises

Addis Ababa, March 31, 2019 (FBC) – Prime Minister Dr Abiy Ahmed held a virtual call with sub-committee leads of the high level national COVID19 Ministerial committee to assess activity performance and to determine if additional assignments are required.

COVID19 prevention and containment efforts have progressed with incremental actions through each of the sub-committees, said Office of the Prime Minister.

However, based on city wide observation missions undertaken by members of the committee, social distancing within market areas and transport systems as well as continued religious gatherings still remain a containment challenge, it said.

While attempts to raise awareness will continue together with law enforcement measures, members of the public are asked to strictly adhere to all cautionary advises in relation to the virus.
