4:26Now PlayingToday Monday September 27, 2021 the Ministry of Health, Wellness and Elderly Affairs received notification from the Caribbean Public Health Agency of 9 new cases of the Delta Variant. All of the cases are nationals, the majority from Castries and Gros-Islet. 5 of them are female, 4 male and the ages range from 18 to 60 years.
Based on contact tracing data, the majority of the cases are acquired from non-adherence to recommended protocols. We note excessive social activity especially on weekends even during curfew hours. The contact tracing team has informed of positive cases providing false contact information, withholding 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.
