The death toll since the virus broke out here in late February stands at 1,752, after 3 more people died.
Acting Chief Medical Officer, Dr. Ronan Glynn says "COVID-19 is extremely infectious it wants to spread, but it needs people to come into contact with each other to do so."
The top public health official says it now depends on the actions we take as individuals, as to whether this virus gets an opportunity to spread through our communities and he's urging people to continue to follow the public health advice, know the risks, know the symptoms and stay safe.
