Barbadians will now remain on lockdown until the end of the month, Prime Minister Mia Mottley announced Monday, as the number of confirmed COVID-19 cases and deaths continued to climb.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

On the same day that it was announced the island had recorded the first death of a healthcare worker due to the virus, Mottley said that the period of \u201cnational pause\u201d which was to end on February 17 would continue until February 28.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are going to require a little more time to do what has to be done,\u201d Mottley said.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>
\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

The Prime Minister said there would be an estimated loss in economic activity of about BDS$150 million (US$75 million) as a result of the extended lockdown.<\/p>

<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/form>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\u201cThis is not an easy decision that we\u2019ve had to make. I met this morning with my finance and economic team and I asked a simple question: Can this country withstand any further extension of the period of pause, or stop as we\u2019re now hearing from our public health officials. The simple answer from the finance and economic team is \u2018yes, we will be hurt by any further extension but it will not kill our economy and it will not collapse our economy\u2019,\u201d Mottley said.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

\u201cThe advisors have indicated to me that it is likely that we will come in at just under BDS$78 million (US$39 million)for this first part of the lockdown, in terms of loss of economic activity. If we go for an additional period of time \u2013 just under two weeks \u2013 then the most that will be is probably another BDS$70 million-$75 million (US$35 million-$37.5 million). So that we are potentially looking at a loss of about BDS$150 million (US$75 million) in economic activity for the month of February.\u201d<\/p>\n

The 7 p.m. to 6 a.m. curfew will remain in place until February 28. The only changes are that the post office will reopen on Thursday to facilitate the cashing of pension cheques; remittance offices will also open; and minimarts, which were not allowed to operate during the lockdown, will be allowed to open Mondays to Fridays, like the supermarkets.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

Both minimarts and supermarkets will be closed on weekends.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

Prime Minister Mottley\u2019s announcement came after Minister of Health Lt. Col. Jeffrey Bostic disclosed in a statement that a Queen Elizabeth Hospital nursing assistant had died on Sunday, as a result of COVID-19.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs the first health care worker to die from COVID-19 in Barbados, her death shook the nursing and health care communities yesterday,\u201d Bostic said on Monday.<\/p>\n

\u201cPrior to yesterday, Barbados had so far been spared the loss of any of its health care workers and the cases of COVID among the QEH staff have largely been the result of community spread and not direct patient to caregiver contact.\u201d<\/p>\n

The nursing assistant\u2019s death brings to 25 the number of deaths attributed to COVID-19 since the first case here in March 2020.<\/p>\n

Up to Saturday, Barbados had recorded 2,268 confirmed cases.<\/p>\n
