As the Covid-19 pandemic continues to see increasing case numbers in Bermuda, this month has set a new record for the highest amount of confirmed cases in one month.
Bermuda has recorded 674 confirmed cases so far this month — the most ever announced in a single month since the pandemic began over one year ago — with this unfortunate benchmark reached by only April 11th.
Due to this major outbreak, the Government has instituted a ‘Stay at Home’ order effective tomorrow, with the Premier saying, “We must act now as continued and unabated household mixing is leading to increased transmission and persons are becoming ill due to the severity of this variant. With these enhanced measures our goal is to slow the spread, ramp up testing, and continued expansion of our vaccination programme.”
