 A blessed and peaceful Good Friday to you from your extended family at the Ministry of Health and Wellness. As of April 9, 2020, the World Health Organization reported a total of 1,436,198 confirmed cases of COVID-19 globally with 85,522 deaths. There are now 454,710 confirmed cases in the region of the Americas. On Friday, April 10, 2020, St. Musa confirmed one additional case of COVID-19, bringing our national total to 15. A total of 24 samples were tested with one positive and 23 negatives. This new positive case of COVID-19 is an 18-year-old male who is a close contact of a previously confirmed case. He was initially placed in home quarantine and upon developing symptoms was taken in for testing and isolated. Contact tracing for this case is ongoing. Currently, St. Musa has a total of 32 persons in quarantine and 19 in isolation. All COVID-19 cases currently in isolation continue to do well and respond well to treatment. None have complicated or required respiratory support. We continue to record zero deaths. Four of our previously confirmed cases have recovered clinically and through lab diagnosis, and they have been discharged from the isolation facility. Respiratory clinics nationally continue to function well, receiving a number of persons on a daily basis who present with flu-like symptoms. Samples are taken at these sites for persons who are assessed and to clinically determine whether they meet the criteria for testing for COVID-19. The respiratory clinics have proven to be effective in streamlining patients for testing and care as may be required. This is complemented with an active surveillance in communities to identify potential cases of COVID-19 and to bring persons in for testing. On April 9, 2020, the Ministry of Health and Wellness in collaboration with the Office of the Prime Minister launched a website which serves as a dedicated COVID-19 virtual repository. This website aims to provide the public with information on COVID-19 and recent updates on the national response. The sites can be accessed on www.covid19response.lc. The Ministry of Health and Wellness, we continue to advise the public to focus on the maintenance of standard recommendations to prevent the spread of the COVID-19 infection. These include regular hand washing with soap and water or the use of alcohol-based hand sanitizers where soap and water is not available to cover your mouth and nose with disposable tissues when coughing and sneezing. We also continue to advise the public on the maintenance of physical distance to reduce the transmission of COVID-19. We know this Easter will be different for most persons, but we advise you to use it for personal reflection and also for sacrifice. Let us protect our loved ones at this time. On behalf of the Ministry of Health and Wellness, we wish you a warm and blessed Easter season.
