I’m seeing images and stories coming in from different parts of the country that are so scary… the situation is out of control and our medical fraternity is at a breaking point”.

Do it for yourself, your family, friends, neighbours, community, and also our frontline workers”. “Every doctor and frontline worker is saying the exact same thing: Stay home. Ensure everyone you know stays home. If you have to step out, wear a mask. Talk to those around you and help them understand this situation… we cannot take this lightly. Get the vaccine when it’s your turn”. She concluded her note, “Doing this will help us ease the immense pressure on our medical system”.
