Saint Lucia has imposed travel restrictions on travellers coming from China as the novel coronavirus has been deemed a public health emergency of international concern. On Thursday, January 30, 2020, during the second meeting of the Emergency Committee, convened by the World Health Organization, regulations regarding the novel coronavirus outbreak in Wuhan, China, the committee agreed that the outbreak now meets the criteria. Chief Medical Officer Dr Sharon Belma George says the Department of Health and Wellness has taken this approach so as to restrict the possible entry of the virus into Saint Lucia. According to the CMO as of February 4, 2020, the government of Saint Lucia will not allow any non-national with a travel history within the last 14 days from mainland China, whether in transit or originating to enter any local port. Media practitioners in Saint Lucia received training as part of a digital media series being conducted by the British High Commission. Participants benefited from hands-on mobile and digital solutions-based approaches to journalism over a two-day period. The British Commissioner Steve McCready says the training is important as new technologies are constantly being introduced to the fields of journalism. The training allows participants to get a better understanding of mobile tools which can be used on multimedia content, storytelling, podcasting, photography, social media, investigative and entrepreneurial journalism. McCready says that having an effective media is important for democracy, not just in Saint Lucia but across the globe. The multi-country training series was held in eight countries across the Eastern Caribbean and coincides with the opening of the new British High Commission offices in Antigua and Pobilda, Grenada and St. Vincent and the Grenadines.
