Good Afternoon All,

I know that the announcements that we have further cases of Covid-19 meaning the Territory is now classified as having ‘clusters of cases’ will be of great concern to everyone. Intensive contact tracing and further testing is underway. The test kits, lab equipment and rapid testing machine supplied by the UK are contributing to the speed at which this can be done.
