American Samoa relaxes covid regulations

Under his latest Covid-19 Emergency Declaration, American Samoa's Governor Lemanu Peleti Mauga has eased more restrictions.

Businesses, indoor public gatherings, in-person schools, college education, and government offices, may recommence regular activities on Wednesday.

The relaxation of limitations is welcomed by the commercial sector, particularly non-essential companies, who were heavily struck when the Covid community spread was first documented on Tutuila on February 21 and were forced to shut.

According to the Health Department, the overall number of Covid-related fatalities remains at 31.
