COVID-19 information
God is faithful and can be trusted, no matter what happens.
Please pray for the situation – especially for God’s Wisdom and direction for the leaders of our nation and around the world.
1. Keep your focus on God: We each have a key role to play in encouraging, informing and looking after those around us.
2. Be wise. We each must take steps to protect ourselves and those around us. It is the simple things like properly washing our hands, and practicing social distancing that will make a huge difference.
3. Stay up to date. The latest news from the Government of Timor-Leste is available here
John 14:27 (Jesus speaking) “Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you. Not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your hearts be troubled, neither let them be afraid“

Prevention of Coronavirus spread
Mon. 09 of March of 2020, 16:40h
On January 2020, the World Health Organization (WHO) declared the coronavirus epidemic (COVID19) as an international health emergency.
The coronavirus originated in Wuhan city, Hubei province, central China. The WHO has so far (as by the March 9 report) registered 109,577 confirmed cases of coronavirus, of which 80,904 in China. There have been cases of COVID-19 in 104 countries, causing the deaths of 3,809 people (3,123 deaths in China and 686 in other countries).
The most common symptoms of COVID-19 include respiratory symptoms, fever, cough, and breathing difficulties. In patients with more serious health conditions, the infection can cause pneumonia and even fatal complications.
The Government, with the support of the World Health Organization, has taken steps to prevent and contain the outbreak of COVID-19 in Timor-Leste. However, to ensure the success of these actions the whole population plays a key role in preventing the spread of this disease.
As preventive measures, WHO recommends that everyone should:
- Cover the nose and mouth when coughing or sneezing;
- Wash hands frequently;
- Maintain a safe distance from people with respiratory symptoms (1 meter);
- If you have breathing symptoms, you should wear a mask;
- Cook meat and eggs well before eating
- Face masks are necessary for people with respiratory symptoms or those who provide direct assistance to them; not to the general public.
