On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organisation (WHO) declared COVID-19 a pandemic. Responding to the pandemic presents a significant challenge for our governments and communities in the Pacific. We must work with our governments and abide by the special orders and measures put in place to keep the virus away, and to keep the rate of infection in our communities already affected, low. This is a time for us to work together and change our behaviors' to keep ourselves and our communities safe.
