THE number of COVID-19 fatalities in Guyana is now 204, following the death of a 76-year-old man from Region 10.

Guyana has confirmed a total of 8,847 cases since the arrival of COVID-19 in Guyana last March and of that number, 454 are currently active.
All Guyanese are urged to observe the protocols of the COVID-19 emergency measures, which emphasise the need for correct and consistent use of a face mask when leaving home, the importance of maintaining a physical distance of six feet from others, and the need for good hand-hygiene to help reduce the spread of the virus.
