Today Tuesday June 1, 2021 the Ministry of Health and Wellness received confirmation of 13 new cases of COVID-19 from the Ezra Long Laboratory. These results are from a batch of 145 samples taken during the period May 28, 2021 to May 30, 2021. The samples were processed on May 31, 2021.

All of these new cases were seen at various community respiratory clinics where they were assessed and tested for COVID-19. In keeping with the COVID-19 testing protocol, they were each placed in home quarantine by healthcare practitioners while awaiting receipt of their test results. Arrangements have since been made to place these individuals into isolation. The contact tracing for these new cases is currently underway.

Confirmation was also received today of the recovery of 18 individuals diagnosed with COVID-19. This brings the total number of active cases currently recorded in country to date to 158. Presently, all of the active cases are doing well. The new cases bring the total number of cases diagnosed in country to date to 5085.

As of yesterday May 31, 2021 a total of 28, 262 individuals have received the first dose of the vaccine and 18, 862 individuals have received the second dose of the vaccine. Tomorrow Wednesday, June 2, 2021 the health team will be administering the COVID-19 vaccine at the Vigie Sports Complex and the Dennery Mothers’ Pre-School. This COVID-19 vaccination drive will cater to the general population (18 years and older) for the first dose of the vaccine as well as individuals receiving the second dose of the vaccine.

Do you support the establishment of vaccine passports?

Yes
No
mandatory protocols work.
If and when the vaccine come with immunity then maybe then i will support this new venture.
When you take the vaccine and you dont need to wear i mask
Allow everyone to make their choice, so that no no one will be blamed if there is any any mishap.
Try to get off the face of the Earth's surface try Mars you 1% syco criminals
Wear mask
After 3 year I will make my decision
If someone died from the complication of taking the vaccine what does their family get in terms of compensation? And why do people with underlying medical conditions get vaccinated smfh it should be the other way around in my opinion and people should not be forced to take that jab
can’t take free will from us humans especially us being black coming from that whole slavery crap... where that freedom we suppose to have down here in the Caribbean can’t force a vaccine on someone to protect them against something they didn’t create which brings up the thought of “if I didn’t crate it better yet I should proctect myself since I’m not to sure of the dangers of not complying” this whole covid/vaccine thing seem trusting and convincing for a while but y’all mean the system y’all played with the information to much like y’all believe some ppl will realise what’s going on but In conclusion what I’m trying to say is let the ppl be free let’s them decide what’s best for them .
Why should anyone participate in such a program which has not been tested. Are we lab rats?
