Note: It is very important that persons drive carefully on our roads at this time because it is possible that you could go to a hospital and the medical staff are not able to treat you in a timely manner. This is due to the health sector being overwhelmed at this time. Citizens need to be careful and try to be safe at this time. This should include following the Covid-19 protocols.
