MORE GOOD NEWS FOR MONTSERRAT: ANOTHER TWO (2) INDIVIDUALS HAVE TOTALLY RECOVERED FROM COVID-19, BRINGING THE TOTAL RECOVERIES NOW TO SIX (8); WHILE THE NUMBER OF ACTIVE CASES HAS DECLINED TO ONE (1) – GOD ALMIGHTY IS COMPASSIONATE AND GRACIOUS
The Montserrat Ministry of Health and Social Services announced on Friday, May 8th, 2020, the full recovery of two more patients from the Coronavirus disease (COVID-19), and no new cases of coronavirus disease (COVID-19).
This week the Ministry investigated one suspected case of the disease and results from the CARPHA reference laboratory have confirmed that the sample is negative for COVID-19. The laboratory also confirmed the full recovery of two of the island’s previously confirmed cases. This brings the total recovered to eight (8) and active cases of COVID- 19 now stand at one (1).
Officials from the Ministry also indicate that the number of persons reporting flu-like symptoms continues to decrease. But, while the evidence of containment continues to grow, the Ministry is cautioning residents to remain faithful in practicing good hygiene.
“The hygienic practices of hand-washing and disinfection emphasized throughout this pandemic are the hallmarks of infection control and will continue to protect the island not just from a resurgence of community spread of COVID-19 but from a host of other infectious diseases,” stated Ministry of Health officials.
RESIDENTS ON MONTSERRAT AND ACROSS THE CARIBBEAN URGED TO PROTECT THEMSELVES AGAINST MOSQUITO BORNE DISEASES SUCH AS DENGUE FEVER, CHIKUNGUNYA AND ZIKA DESPITE THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC
The Trinidad-based Caribbean Public Health Agency (CARPHA) is urging people in the region to remember that despite the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, they must be mindful that other public health threats still exist.
CARPHA executive director Dr Joy St John, in a message in observance of Caribbean Mosquito Awareness Week 2020, noted that mosquito-borne diseases, such as dengue, chikungunya and Zika, have placed an additional burden on the region’s health care systems, and negatively impact social and economic development.
“As individuals and communities, we each have a role to play in preventing an upsurge of mosquito-borne diseases,” she added.
Head of Vector-Borne Diseases at CARPHA Dr Laura-Lee Boodram said that during 2019 the Caribbean region experienced another outbreak of dengue, with many member states reporting an increase in the number of severe and hospitalised cases.
