Vulnerable group priority

WHO says 'priority' must be on vulnerable groups as Vanuatu battles COVID

There are almost 300 active infections in the country and one woman who tested positive to COVID-19 has died.

The ministry of health is investigating that case to find out if her death was a result of her COVID-19 infection.

The WHO's Country Liaison officer Dr Eunyoung Ko said authorities need to prioritise the health of vulnerable groups.

"The government is trying hard to stop the spread of COVID into the communities," she said.
