At this time of national emergency it is important that we look after each other as much as possible, especially now, but also I hope after the crisis has passed we can come together much more as communities.

To encourage this it would be wonderful if everyone supports our fishermen, farmers and fruit growers providing locally grown products, many of whom are ready to deliver within reasonable distances.

These products are, as we all know, very healthy, nutritious and generally fresh.

Through this letter I would please ask everyone to help not only our people now but our national economy, our local producers, our local traders and our manufacturing sector in the future when this is all over.
