Health and Wellness Minister Dr Christopher Tufton says the COVID-19 scrutiny being placed on Westmoreland, the nation’s new epicentre for the coronavirus, could be extended to other parishes as part of a major push to control the outbreak.
Describing Westmoreland as “ground zero now”, Tufton said any decision to exert greater control by way of quarantines rests on the trajectory of the numbers of new COVID-19 cases and the threat a spike presents to hospital capacity.
“The belt from Hanover, St James, into Trelawny, St Ann, also represents points of concern for us, and a lot depends on what the numbers look like, what the projection says, and how much people comply,” said Tufton at a Gleaner Editors’ Forum held in conjunction with the Montego Bay Chamber of Commerce and Industry.
