Health Minister, Dr Kailesh Jagutpal, is quoted as saying that there are zero active coronavirus cases in the country and thanked its citizens for their cooperation in fighting the deadly pandemic.
“We have won the battle thanks to the cooperation of the public, who understood that the government needed to take extreme measures, including complete confinement, and the closure of supermarkets and our borders.
