The main objectives included the provision of regional and national COVID-19 responses, discussion on the safe and sustainable strategies initiatives in the new COVID-19 era and to advise on optimal ways of working and responding to the ongoing challenges of COVID-19. During this two-day meeting member states presented on the lessons learnt and best practices in the COVID-19 response. They also discussed common approaches to responding to COVID-19 moving forward.

We need to ensure that as we remove restrictive measures and open up, that our proven public health protective measures are in place especially to protect the most vulnerable.

We appeal to all organizations, public and private sector to ensure the maintenance of the public health protocols. Let us strive to sustain the low number of COVID-19 cases as we live, work, study and recreate safely with COVID-19.
