What happened in Groningen? A virologist protected his region. “We just did it,” Friedrich recalled. “You save lives by doing diagnostics. Proper diagnostics, case tracing, information, is one of the strongest weapons we have to fight the virus." https://t.co/uRIyAUQjiB
Contact Tracing is very important. Potential cases are detected earlier and managed in time, before the virus spreads uncontrollably like veld fire. Without proper contact tracing, cases multiply rapidly, thereby increasing need for more resources. Prevention is better than Cure
We shall triumph over COVID19, as we have done in past outbreaks. Remember that it is darkest before dawn. Remember safety first before you play the hero. Others before self and you will win the day. #staythecourse
