“Although we now have fewer COVID restrictions, I must remind everyone this is no indication that COVID has gone away,” said Minister Wilson.
“We are beginning to see an increase in coronavirus transmission on island, and the current upward trend is worrying. This uptick does not take into consideration that there are many additional positive cases that are not being reported.”
“Living safely with COVID means we must continue to follow public health guidance. Avoid closed spaces, crowded places and close contact settings. Wear a mask, practice good hand hygiene, and maintain physical distance. Take an at-home antigen test before going to any events or out with friends and family.”
