Although the number of confirmed infections is low in recent days, we must stay awake and be careful.
According to the epidemiologist, it is hoped that the pandemic will reach its peak in mid-April, so we still expect to diagnose new cases of infection in our society as well as throughout the country. It is important to follow hygiene, isolation, gathering ban, distance and meeting restrictions, and for people to stay as much as possible at home, it is extremely important to follow this because we are already far above the peak in infection.
We are now in a very delicate period and together we can influence the spread of the virus in Vestmannaeyjar.
Let us be careful and listen to Víðir.
