DEAR EDITOR:<\/strong><\/p>

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

Does the Ministry of Health believe Antiguans only go to\u00a0 Sunday school?\u00a0Look at the latest updated dashboard. There were 90 tests pending from the previous dashboard. Shouldn\u2019t the pending samples show an increase given that travelers are required to have a negative COVID certificate?<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

So what, did the planes leave here empty on Saturday, Sunday and Monday?\u00a0Additionally, how could there be no increase in pending samples when a certain government establishment in town had all the employees tested?<\/p>

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

I am not saying that this is the case, but if the country has run out of test kits the Ministry of Health should come clean and tell us.\u00a0Signed \u2013 The Dashboard Hawk<\/strong><\/p>
