BGIS – As Barbados records 40 new cases of COVID-19, there are approximately 200 persons in quarantine at hotels.

“As the numbers increase, the more hotels we will have to use, and the more room stock will be required,” he stated.
He was speaking during a virtual press conference this evening led by Minister of Health and Wellness, Lieutenant Colonel Jeffrey Bostic, and included Chief Medical Officer, Dr. Kenneth George, and Senior Medical Officer, Dr. Leslie Rollock, on the latest increase in COVID-19 cases.

The same drugs she believes are also generally safe to use as an effective prophylactic treatment before infection and symptoms are apparent.
In the video at the link below this paragraph Dr. Merrit explain why she is baffled at the rush to inoculate the masses with the Covid-19 vaccines (rushed through abbreviated testing procedures and given emergency approvals – especially troublesome with two of the heavily promoted candidates being the first use of the mRNA new-technology vaccine on humans) while the existing safe drugs that she believes have shown they can be repurposed to treat the disease and and used safely as prophylactics are ignored by the mainstream media and medical authorities.
