Protect yourself and your loved ones especially, the elderly and those living with medical conditions.

#TakeResponsibility and adhere to #COVID19 preventive measures.

#EidMubarak
#COVID19 may cause severe complications in the elderly & people with underlying medical conditions.

Take extra precautions to stay safe:
