Step 3 measures remain in place -
that means you must still wear a mask in public places, including
restaurants, meeting places, office, schools, parks, at social
gatherings, and keep your distance of 1.5 metres. But if you are
traveling alone in your car or your passengers are people you live
with in the same house, you don't need to mask up.
His Excellency President Lionel
Aingimea remembers the people of the Republic of the Marshall
Islands as their country grapples with the spread of COVID in the
community.
President Aingimea communicated
Nauru's thoughts and prayers for the government and people of RMI
in a recent conversation with RMI's President David Kabua.
The RMI has a 70 per cent
vaccination rate and over the past two days there have been 65
positive cases and one COVID-related death.
The public is reminded that wearing
a mask, sanitising, hand washing and social distancing are vital
steps and efficient ways of reducing the spread of COVID-19 in our
community.
If you have symptoms, stay home
until you are tested.
Please practice hand hygiene, wear
a mask, keep your distances, avoid crowding and keep houses well
ventilated.

please call 192 to report your result or visit the link below.

with 192 or go online at

workers) and follow protocols for ending isolation.
