Thank you for your reply.

Here is my second question. Since long before COVID-19 impacted our communities and the world, tuberculosis has been a serious problem across the territory. Overcrowding and lack of clean water have been significant factors in the spread of tuberculosis.

Is the government doing enough today to make sure that our communities can be healthy and safe in our own homes?
