Despite two deaths, health authorities are managing the COVID-19 outbreak at the nursing home which has been transformed into an isolation facility.
The assurance has come from Chief Medical Officer Dr Kenneth George who today revealed that none of the patients at the nursing home was critically ill.
Just over a week ago, Minister of Health and Wellness Lieutenant Colonel Jeffrey Bostic disclosed that the nursing home located in the eastern part of the island had recorded 37 positive COVID-19 tests, 31 patients and six staff members.
He said due to the seriousness of the situation, a decision had been made to turn the nursing home into an isolation facility.
