BANDAR SERI BEGAWAN, Nov 19 (Borneo Bulletin/ANN): As Brunei shifts into the Transition Phase, the public must continue to exercise a sense of responsibility and abide by the standard operating procedures (SOP) set by the Ministry of Health (MoH) to curb the Covid-19 spread, Minister of Home Affairs Dato Seri Setia Dr Awang Abu Bakar said.

“We should not get carried away with social gatherings such as throwing barbecues and the likes. The experience of other countries has shown that moving into the Endemic Phase brings with it an increase in the number of Covid-19 cases.
