    In terms of the 94 cases reported yesterday, this is the breakdown per community.
    Please note that by no means does this mean that the communities not included can be considered to be in the clear, as we move along, we have to assume that all communities are affected.
    It saddens us to note that big parties are still being reported in communities across the country, this will not help in flattening any curve.
    Stay home unless you really have essential activities away from home.
