After giving his word to President George M. Weah and his government that he would contribute in whatever way possible to help in the fight against the deadly coronavirus, the Political Leader of the Alternative National Congress (ANC), Alexander B. Cummings, has began actively contributing to the fight against the virus, making routine visits to hospitals and clinics and making assessments in order to make the necessary intervention.
In his post yesterday, June 28, 2021, Cummings said, “My team and I continued our assessment visits at hospitals, and have been pleased to meet with the administrators and medical leadership of Catholic Hospital in Monrovia.”
According to Cummings, “The situation is dire, but the Cummings Africa Foundation (CAF) will do what we can to help address it while our consultations continue this week with other hospitals. Tomorrow we will visit Margibi and Nimba, which are also the hardest hit counties in addition to Montserrado.
“I want to personally thank our healthcare workers for their sacrifice and commitment to saving lives. What they do, in spite of the challenges and dangers, is pure patriotism, and our country owes them a depth of gratitude.
“To our citizens, do not despair. I know how hard it is waking up to several deaths news. My wife Teresa and I have had our own share of the shock and sadness, but we cannot lose hope in our ability to defeat COVID.
“Please continue to follow the rules. Wash your hands. Wear your masks over your nose and mouth. Avoid crowded places. Visit the nearest hospital when you feel sick. Take the COVID vaccine to protect yourself. Remember the vaccine may not prevent you from getting COVID, but it drastically reduces the severity and your chances of death.”
