(Cabinet Notes)

The Minister of Health reported to Cabinet that only two active cases of Covid-19 are being treated in Antigua and Barbuda currently.

If no additional cases are imported, the Minister expressed the view that the disease would have been eliminated in Antigua and Barbuda, causing the state to be declared covid-free.

The Minister cautions that there is to be no relaxation of the vigilance that has brought Antigua and Barbuda to this juncture, and cautions the population to continue to wear masks, to practice safe hygiene, and to continue to wash hands frequently.

He reminds that it takes only one infected person, coming into contact with even four persons can cause domestic spread, which can lead to community spread. All are asked to conform to the regulations.

A new website: www.covid.ab.gov.ag has been launched, and it contains all the regulations, the protocols, the requirements for entry, and other pertinent information that will make the management and information availability easier than ever before.

  3. This man has not learned from his past gaffe when he proclaimed Antigua to be “Covid Free” and a few days later a plethora of cases were reported. He is at it again declaring Antigua to have “eliminated” covid. Give it a break, Molwyn. You will only end up making a fool of yourself again. Comprende? Or do you need someone to please “interprete” that?

  5. The numbers Antigua is reporting do not make sense

    Cuba and New Zealand have had massive increases only letting returning citizens in

    We’re supposed to believe Antigua has 2 cases after letting in 8000+ tourists?

    Most of whom weren’t tested or quarantined

    We’re not all as stupid as Minister of Lies apparently thinks

    • when they opened their borders to RETURNING NATIONALS. Their borders are still closed to tourists.

      New Zealand went from 0 cases to 137 cases when they opened their borders to RETURNING NATIONALS. Their borders are still closed to tourists.

      Somehow because what magic Antigua has only 2 cases????

      These lies are dangerous. These lies will get people killed.

    • My thoughts exactly. A population of roughly 100K. Borders re-open letting in roughly 10K.. We have barely tested anyone and they want to boast about Antigua Covid free. Smh

  6. COVID FREE,REALLY,COVID FREE? IS THIS MAN MAKING A DARN JOKE.ONLY ANTIGUA IS COVID-19 FREE.No where else in this world is Covid-19 free.I read that France had 7,379 cases of Covid-19 yesterday,Friday. This is the second time I have heard this nonsensical crap,coming from this Administration.Go back to sleep Doctor,Sir Molwyn Joseph and come again.

    • The numbers Antigua is putting forth make no sense.

      Every where else has COVID even places that ARE NOT OPEN TO TOURISTS.

      But Antigua who has let in thousands of tourists who they mostly did not test or quarantine is somehow COVID free?

  7. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHA WELL LARD

    I declare by Ceremonial Parade Antigua and Redonda will be COVID19 Free……The day after and going forward keep your eyes on the figuers.

    HAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHA

  8. why do we have to listen to this crap of lies over and over again. i honestly believe they are hiding the figures cause they want to open school.
    whats in the dark shall come to light and a lot if people will be hurt while they are saying covid
    ELIMIMATED.

  10. A Marketing Tourism Health Minister ! No covid tourist look at our country as safe and will want to travel here thats why

  12. Definitely not the brightest bulb on the room, is. he?

    It seems he’s forgotten about asymptotic persons. It seems that he’s not acknowledging that it seems we’re more passively testing and not proactively testing.

    Come on dude!
