The Government of Barbados wants to reassure those on the island that there has been some stabilization of the present COVID-19 situation, as contact tracing efforts remain ongoing.
Barbados recorded a major increase in cases between Friday, January 1, and Saturday, January 2. A total of 211 new positive cases of COVID-19 were recorded, representing results from both visitors and locals.
“I believe it is fair to say…that our situation seems to be stabilizing somewhat,” Chairman of the Cabinet COVID-19 Sub-Committee, Senator Dr Jerome Walcott remarked at the beginning of an interactive address to the nation on January 4.
