Health Educator Imternizia McCartney told RTC News on Wednesday that the MOH is closely watching a hint of diarrhea & vomiting based on reports. As a result of that, the MOH re-issued the alert to remind the TCI that as we get into the holiday season, we must remain vigilant in washing hands, fruits and vegetables properly.
