 Today's Sunday, October 25, 2020, the Ministry of Health and Wellness received confirmation of two new cases of COVID-19. This brings a total number of cases diagnosed to date in country 254. Both of the cases were identified through the contact tracing process and were already in quarantine. Case number 53 is linked to case number 43. Case number 54 is a close contact of case number 50, who is linked to case number 39. This brings a total number of active, confirmed cases currently isolated in care to 27. Case number 53 is a 34-year-old female from the Castries District. Case number 54 is a 25-year-old male from the Grozile District. During this past week, Sunday, October 18 to Saturday, October 24, a total of 18 new cases of COVID-19 were diagnosed in country. This is a significant number in a short period, especially when we consider the requirements to respond to these cases to ensure we contain further spread. This includes human resources for contact tracing, testing, and care of patients. There is also increasing demand on supplies for testing, PPE, and other related supplies. Though we continue to respond promptly and effectively, if we do not make a continuous effort to follow the recommended infection prevention and control guidelines, these pressures on healthcare resources shall only continue and will even increase with time. As such, the Ministry of Health will reiterate the importance of sticking to the behaviors which reduce the spread of the virus from one person to another. We make a strong appeal to everyone that if you are experiencing respiratory symptoms, which include fever, cough, and soft, it would promptly go to your closest respiratory clinic for care. Ensure that when you are in public, you wear a mask all of the time, you maintain the six foot physical distance from the next person, which is about the distance of two arms length, and you follow the floor markers in public spaces where they are available. Also wash and sanitize your hands often throughout the day. Cover your sneeze and cough with a tissue or your inner elbow when tissue is not available. With the increasing confirmed cases of COVID-19 over the past weeks, we urge everyone to limit your social movements by remaining home today as we observe Shunekwe all. Moving into the new work week, let's make every effort to keep ourselves and others at low risk for becoming infected with the virus. The Ministry of Health and Wellness, we will continue providing you with regular updates as new information becomes available.
