Montserrat has confirmed its first case of coronavirus/COVID -19.
The Minister of Health, Charles Kirnon made the announcement during a news conference held by officials of the island’s Ministry of Health.

Health officials said other persons are currently in quarantine, though they did not reveal the exact number.
The message from Montserrat’s Ministry of Health to the general public now that COVID-19 has been confirmed on Montserrat is to stay vigilant; practice social distancing — at least two meters if persons exhibit signs of cold, cough, flu. Practice good hygiene, and to stay away from public gatherings.
A flu clinic is to be opened from tomorrow on the island, stated Ministry officials.
