four territories had tested positive for COVID-19. According to the World Health Organization’s report
Closing the Gap in a Generation: Health Equity through Action on the Social Determinants of Health, “poor and
unequal living conditions are the consequences of deeper structural conditions that together fashion the way societies
are organized—poor social policies and programs, unfair economic arrangements, and bad politics.

infected or spreading
COVID-19 by taking some simple precautions:

·        
clean your hands

·        
Keep a safe distance

·        
Avoid touching eyes, nose and mouth.

·        
Avoid shaking hands and hugging.
