“Our medical frontline workers have been absolute stars and of course, the other frontline workers from law enforcement to municipal services and of course you the citizen, thank you very much for helping us flatten the curve. Please keep it going, remember social distancing, washing of hands and wear your masks. Remember that also if you’re feeling sick, stay at home, follow the protocols, call our numbers. Let’s all stay safe,” adds Winde.
