Montserrat’s  Ministry of Health and Social Services (MoHSS) is urging residents to take measures to reduce the likelihood of contracting COVID-19; as cases continue to increase on the island.

As of 12 noon Friday, April 29, Montserrat recorded 18 new cases and two recoveries bringing the number of active cases on island to 78. The cases are predominantly locally transmitted.

The Ministry is therefore reminding persons to take the following steps to curb the spread of the virus: practise social distancing; wear a face covering; wash and sanitise hands often; stay at home if feeling unwell or experiencing flu-like symptoms, and isolate and call 496-7437 or 493-4755 for instructions on testing and care.

Officials in the Ministry of Health are continuing the process of contact tracing of close contacts of persons who have tested positive.   All age groups are currently affected by this current outbreak, however the age categories with the highest infection rates are 0-9 years and 10-19 years.

The  evidence continues to show that persons who are vaccinated are less likely to experience severe COVID-19 symptoms.

Therefore, the Ministry of Health is encouraging persons to call the St. John’s Health Centre  on 491-5218 to register for COVID-19 vaccination.

Children 12 years and older can also be registered for the vaccine, as well as pregnant women and women who are breastfeeding.

  1. Please note: ” … The evidence continues to show that persons who are vaccinated are less likely to experience severe Covid-19 symptoms”.

    Explain this to those who are vaccine injured with:

    Myocarditis; pericarditis; tinnitus; facial paralysis, women with inconsistent menstrual cycles; nerve and neurological system damage; heart attacks and strokes.

    AND NOT FORGETTING THE NUMBER OF UNDER-REPORTED VACCINE DEATHS!!!

    Why are these CRACKPOTS continuing with this propaganda and BILE?

  2. @Brixtonian:

    Nothing in this world is perfect but the word of God.

    If I were you I would tell all those persons who you identified in your list that statistics have shown that the vaccine has worked and it is a small percentage of those who have taken the vaccine compared with those who have not have succumbed to the virus.

    • Wow! Your choice to keep taking these trial vaccines – STAY SAFE @ Bluddy Bloke 👍
