The Ministry of Health and Wellness caution St. Lucia not to become complacent as it relates to adhering to the physical distancing and the infection prevention and control measures. St. Lucia is asked to avoid participating in large social gatherings and to remain vigilant and continue taking the necessary precautions. By doing so, we can all play a significant part in protecting the lives of our families, friends and the most vulnerable population. The Ministry of Health and Wellness will remind the public that we anticipate new cases and therefore we must comply with the guidelines established in order to reduce any possible transmission of COVID-19. The support of every citizen is required in maintaining their recommended infection prevention and control and physical distancing measures. We encourage everyone to continue sanitizing your hands by hand washing and the use of alcohol-based hand sanitizer to wear your homemade mask while undertaking daily activities out of home and to maintain the required 6-foot distance. Also, be sure to cover your mouth and nose when coughing and sneezing. The Ministry of Health and Wellness will continue providing regular updates on COVID-19.
