Office of Director of Health Services COVID-19 update

This is a snapshot of the Barbados' plan for COVID-19.

This is exactly like the one we presented at a press conference 10 days ago and mirrors what all countries in the region have in terms of planning.

You will note that despite not having a confirmed case, we have moved as a country to implement actions from stages 1-3 and this will be scaled up as we move along so please remain alert and attentive to any further information in this regard. For now, if you are ill, please stay at home. We encourage all to continue to practice safe hygienic practices to/from work, at work and at home.

Our teams continue to be on the ground doing investigative work, including the follow-up of the tourist who tested positive in the US. For now, it is uncertain whether the person became infected upon return to the US but we are following up with all the potential contacts on an individual basis.

We will be providing relevant and timely updates as our investigations continue.
