 The Ministry of Health, Wellness and Early Affairs continues to manage the four-for-even country. From July 25, 2021 to September 26, 2021, we noted a total of 5,703 cases at an average of 91 cases per day. During that period, we noted 94 COVID-19 deaths with a case fatality rate of 1.6%. Females account for 53% of the deaths. The average age of the deaths is 66 years. In relation to this new wave, from July 25, 2021, 5,703 persons were positive. 51% in the age group 25 to 49 years, 57% of the cases are female. The majority of the cases are from castries, grozilates, viewfort and barbina. Today, Monday, September 27, 2021, the Ministry of Health, Wellness and Early Affairs received a notification from the Caribbean Public Health Agency of 9 new cases of the Delta variant. All of the cases are nationals. The majority are from castries and grozily. Five of them are female, for a male, and the ages range from 18 to 60 years. Based on contact tracing data, the majority of the cases that we are seeing right now are acquired from non-adherents to the recommended protocols. We note excessive social activity, especially on weekends, even during the curfew hours. The contact tracing team has informed of the positive cases providing false contact information with holding their place of employment and contacts. This prevents us from tracing and testing in a timely manner. The respiratory hospital also reports that many persons remain at home with respiratory signs and symptoms for extended periods and only access care at the critical stage which leads to poor outcomes. We advise the public to access care at their respiratory clinics or their respiratory hospital, if unwell. Signs and symptoms of concern include shortness of breath, difficulty breathing, tightness or pain to the chest, feeling weak, pale or blue-colored skin, lips or nail beds. If you have chronic conditions, please get reviewed by a healthcare practitioner if you suspect that you may have COVID-19. The positive cases in home care are reminded that they are not to leave their place of isolation. They contact the home monitoring team or a healthcare provider via telephone with any concerns that they may have. Family members and friends advise to deliver groceries and needs to those persons who are positive in a safe manner. By supporting each other, we'll get out of this. We continue to ask the public to work with us and exhibit responsible behavior to manage this fourth wave. Let us all take personal responsibility to keep ourselves and family safe. At present, we have both the Pfizer and the AstraZeneca vaccine free of charge in country and the various wellness centers. These vaccines have been proven to be safe and effective in preventing persons from developing COVID-19 in severe forms, complications, hospitalizations and death. With the high level of community spread noted in country at this point, we continue to advise the public to remain vigilant and adhere to the protocols that are put in place to keep us safe. These include regular hand washing, the use of face masks in public places, avoiding crowds and persons with respiratory symptoms and keeping frequently touched surfaces clean. The Ministry of Health and Wellness will continue providing updates to the public as new information becomes available.
