The Strategic Communication Group (GCS), the official novel coronavirus communication task force, said on Wednesday that it disapproves of actions to politicise the ongoing health crisis and denying the danger of infection or understating the risks posed by COVID-19.
Amid a sustained increase in the number of new cases of infection with the novel coronavirus, GCS draws attention to the need to comply strictly with health protection measures: wearing a mask, keeping your distance, avoiding direct contact with others, frequent hand washing.
"The rate of compliance with the health protection measures is the central element in the effective management of the health crisis and containing the virus," GCS highlights.
"We are encouraging awareness of the danger posed by the infection with the novel coronavirus, respectfully urging third parties to comply with the protection measures, as well as the reporting to the authorities of cases in which they are violated," GCS pointed out.
GCS announced on Wednesday 555 new COVID-19 cases, which brought the total case count to 30,175.
