The most recent report received by the Ministry of Health, Wellness and the Environment from the Mount St. John’s Medical Center and the Caribbean Public Health Agency (CARPHA) has revealed no new laboratory confirmed COVID-19 cases in Antigua and Barbuda as of Thursday 13th August, 2020 at 6pm.
Subsequent to the publication of the dashboard on Thursday 13th July 2020 with the cut off time of 6pm, an additional twenty-six samples were processed at the Mount St. John’s Medical Center’s (MSJMC) Laboratory which would have increased the pending results from forty-six to seventy-two.
All seventy-two samples tested yielded negative results and are reflected in the total samples taken and total tested columns of the dashboard.
Consequently, the total number of persons with laboratory confirmed COVID-19 cases in Antigua and Barbuda remains ninety-three with seven active cases.
Meanwhile, thirty-four samples were sent to the Caribbean Public Health Agency (CARPHA) earlier today.
The dashboard has been updated to reflect these changes.

We’re to believe there are only 7 active cases when over 8000 people have been let in since July and who knows how many let in in June?
I guess COVID just doesn’t spread in Antigua because magic.
Or could it be there’s a vested interest to undertest and not test symptomatic people in order to keep tourism going?
Look at the numbers around the world from countries that are doing much much more to stem COVID.
Antigua’s numbers don’t pass the laugh test.
Be careful out there everyone
