Like an enemy within, there is an incessant need to positively identify and deal with it as per the approved guidelines from either a personal, national or international level. We call upon all not to let the guard down lest we erode the gains achieved so far. Our commitment and resolve remain the same; to defeat the common enemy. To this end, we call upon all and sundry to: • • • •
Wear your mask appropriately Observe frequent hand hygiene Get vaccinated against COVID-19 ; AstraZeneca, Pfizer, Johnson & Johnson are all available at KNH Avoid overcrowded places
