Prime Minister of the Federal Republic of Somalia Mohamed Hussein Roble has urged members of the public to avoid large gatherings after COVID-19 cases surged again ahead of the scheduled anti-government protest rally on Friday by the opposition candidates.
In a video shared on his social media platforms, the Prime Minister called on the public to follow health directives announced by the Ministry of Health.
“We urge the members of the public to regularly and thoroughly wash their hands and avoid large gatherings,” said Prime Minister Roble.
This comes barely two days after Council of Presidential Candidates which includes two former Presidents and former Prime Minister Hassan Kheire announced an anti-government rally in the capital Mogadishu scheduled for Friday.
