The latest figures I've seen show 72 cases. I'm not sure about the number of deaths but I believe it is less than 12.
That was that doctor's opinion, we all have one. TV have been lucky to avoid as much as we have, but we need to reopen cautiously and keep our guard up until there is an antivirual that will kill the virus....until then, we still can get infected.
