IGMH had earlier asked the public to limit visits to the hospital to essential purposes.

Meanwhile, Health Protection Agency (HPA) urged to reduce the number of family members visiting the airport to receive returning Hajj pilgrims on June 30^th.

They also advised the public to avoid crowds, and wear masks when at the airport, or when using public transport such as taxis, buses or ferries.
