She said citizens must remain vigilant and suggested suspending wedding parties, religious gatherings, and night outings because it is easy for the virus to spread in these settings.
Vandine also advised citizens to wait two to three more months to assess the global situation.
In its May 12 announcement, the ministry said that the country has recorded no new infections, and 120 out of 122 infections have given the all-clear.
