Also I have been in isolation and suspended physical contact with family, friends and associates since I was pronounced a suspected case.

Finally I want to draw the attention of my colleagues that we have probably reached the dreaded phase of community transmission. We should be more vigilante, maintain ALL standard precaution and STAY SAFE.
