STILL BLOCKED: Haiti travel ban extended again

An aerial view of Haiti. NASSAU, BAHAMAS The ban on travel to and from Haiti has been extended for another 30 days as of today, according to an amendment to the emergency orders. The latest order, dated April 11, read: “Effective 12am on Monday the 12th day of April, 2021, the prohibition of travel to and from Haiti as specified in paragraph (3), shall be extended for a further period of 30 days.” Prior to the ban, there were direct flights between Haiti and The Bahamas. This is now the second time the ban has been extended since it was first implemented on February 15. At that time, Attorney General Carl Bethel said the purpose of the ban was to mitigate risk of a surge of COVID-19 cases in The Bahamas as Haitians celebrated carnival, which is usually observed for a few weeks in February.

ON THE BRINK: Health experts warn shirking of health protocols prompting COVID increase

Easter weekend activities could bring about a surge without adherence to health protocols NASSAU, BAHAMAS Director of the National HIV/AIDS and Infectious Disease Programme Dr Nikkiah Forbes said yesterday that a sustained increase in coronavirus cases that could indicate The Bahamas is “on the brink of a third wave” can be attributed in part to failure to adhere to health protocols in the workplace and other social settings. “Health experts, we continue to look at the trends,” she told Eyewitness News. “We look at curves, that graphical model of the number of cases over time, to see if there has been an uptick.

HIGH DEMAND, SHORT SUPPLY: Some manufactures unable to provide Bahamas with vaccines until 2022, says Brennen

Forbes notes additional shots may be needed as boosters NASSAU, BAHAMAS While the government is working to secure additional batches of COVID-19 vaccines, some manufacturers may not be able to provide The Bahamas with doses until 2022, according to Deputy Chief Medical Officer Dr Delon Brennen. During a Public Hospitals Authority (PHA) town hall meeting yesterday, Brennen noted that bilateral agreements are ongoing with the government of The Bahamas and vaccine manufacturers. “Many of them, because of the contracts and the arrangements they have with some of the bigger economies, they are not making vaccines available until well into 2022,” he said.

WIGGLE ROOM: Bahamas could adopt more flexible COVID measures as vaccine rollout begins, Forbes suggests – Eye Witness News

(FILE PHOTO) NASSAU, BAHAMAS Director of the National HIV/AIDS and Infectious Disease Programme Dr Nikkiah Forbes said yesterday that she expects local coronavirus measures to soon reflect the level of “flexibility” offered by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) in its first COVID-19 vaccine guidelines. In an interview with Eyewitness News, Forbes said the guidelines are very clear on what has not changed and where more information is needed, but there was some “flexibility” and “wiggle room” for vaccinated individuals. “There is some reduction in some of these precautions for people who have been vaccinated and we may see more and more of that become allowed as persons become vaccinated,” she said.
