All fourteen parishes are recording an increase in COVID-19 cases and the occupancy level for COVID-19 wards across the island are nearing capacity.

A major warning signal that suggests that the pandemic could worsen as more severe cases emerge.

With an increase in hospitalization, the possibility of more deaths could be high.

Over the coming weeks, the Ministry of Health will be adding approximately one hundred more beds with the utilization of the field hospitals.

This will bring the island’s COVID-19 bed capacity up from three hundred and sixty-two to four hundred and ninety-five.
