These new COVID-19 developments are regarded as major accomplishments for the island. Director of Primary Health Care, Dr Dorothea Hazel- Blake stated “that these milestones are significant achievements for the Ministry of Health and Social Services and the entire Montserrat Community. But, I cannot stress enough the need for us to remain cautious in our actions if we do not want our victories to be short-lived. The virus is still a global crisis and as restrictions are eased we must seek to find the balance between returning to a new normal while still staying on guard.\u201d<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The need for continued vigilance was echoed by the Chief Medical Officer, Dr Sharra Greenaway-Duberry who stated that \u201cWe will continue to build the Ministry\u2019s capacity to respond to any future resurgence of COVID-19. The public must also remain prepared.
Never forget the lessons learned and continue to practice good hygiene as it is the most effective protection against diseases.\u201d<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Residents are reminded that you should continue to self- monitor and report any flu-like symptoms to the designated hotline 496-9724 for diagnosis and treatment.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

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 COVID-19, but from a host of other infectious diseases.\n\n<\/h3>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
