PNG doctor says COVID-19 surge likely in the coming months

Port Moresby: A Papua New Guinea doctor has warned of a surge in the COVID-19 cases in the coming months, urging people to remain on alert as the pandemic is not over.

Head of Obstetrics and Gynecology at the Port Moresby General Hospital and School of Medicine and Health Science Professor Glen Mola urged the people to continue to be vigilant and maintain hygiene practices.

He had warned the nation earlier this year that the COVID-19 would become a pandemic. He predicts a surge in the number of cases in the coming months, as the threat of the COVID-19 is still high. He warned those with cold and fever to stay at home so as to protect themselves and others.
