MV Manu’atele offloading off shore at Ta’ū on Feb. 21. Later that day Gov. Lemanu Peleti Mauga declared the territory under Code Red after community spread of COVID-19 was detected. With the Manu’atele arriving just before the Code Red alert went into effect, residents in Manu’a have posted on social media and communicated with others on Tutuila, their concerns that the spread of the deadly virus could come to Manu'a.
