Good news coming from the CMO!
How many are currently hospitalized?
How many have really died?
Good news as a stand alone statistic.
What have arrival figures been in the period CMO stated the recorded 30% decrease, compared to previous period?
I ask because UK made vacation travel illegal on 29 March, ( it was limited for month before due to tier system & having ‘valid reason for travel) & tentative resumption date is May 17.
Canada stopped International travel on 29 January, with WestJet showing a tentative 20 June return to Antigua.
Therefore the 30% drop in infections might be a combination of 2 source market closures and 27,000 people here being vaccinated.
