Three more deaths were added to the COVID-19 toll last night, September 30, bringing the grim count to 84, and making that month the deadliest, to date.
The Sir Lester Bird Medical Centre confirmed that a 51-year-old male, who had been admitted since September 6 in severe respirator distress, had died on September 29 at 10 p.m.
Two females, aged 86 and 75, had been hospitalized in respiratory distress since September 17 and 18, and succumbed on Wednesday and Thursday of this week, respectively.
On September 1, COVID-19 cases were 1,750, and deaths stood at 44, according to the Ministry of Health’s dashboard.
However, as the month closed yesterday, total infections had risen to 3,231 – meaning that 1,481 cases have been confirmed, so far, in September alone.
This is more than nine times the number of cases logged in all of 2020.
Meanwhile, September’s confirmed deaths number 40, bringing total virus fatalities to 84.
The most recent dashboard – published September 30 – reported 43 positive cases for Tuesday, September 28. These took active infections to 946.
There have been 72 recovered cases, increasing that figure to 2,206.
In the meantime, pursuing the Government’s goal of community immunity – which targets 80,000 persons – 42,427 individuals have been fully vaccinated and 9,444 have received their first dose.
Therefore, the authorities say that at least 30,000 adults and children between 12 and 17 years old still require vaccination.

So despite all the shutdowns, vaccination, masks, restrictions the deaths are just rising🤔 are we not seeing that it is not working?
Nope. They just gonna keep blaming the unvaccinated
This is why the government needs to lockdown until the numbers go down and the vaccination rate goes up. It is the only solution right now, but big business is putting profit before our lives
This is not correct. The faux vaccines and lockdowns down work. In fact, they’ve made matters worse. Covid has a 99.9% survival rate so if the death rate is higher than that in AG then the government and health authorities are clearly doing something wrong. Also the vax does not prevent persons from catching or spreading the disease. Covid is not native to Antigua. Giving free reign to tourists from high risk areas might be an issue in this context.
Suffice to say persons are being tested but not treated or given access to preventive treatments in countries where vaxs have been rolled out with the same woeful results. Just sent home if positive and told to isolate unless they can’t breathe etc in which case they report to hospital. By then it’s often too late. The vax strategy has also encouraged more high risk activities as too many persons see being jabbed as giving them licence to avoid taking precautions.
In contrast, the experience and increasing evidence of other countries show that Ivermectin, and HCQ protocols work effectively to prevent and drastically reduce covid. They are also cheap. There’s a large state in India of millions which has virtually eliminated covid by going down this route. Remember this when you these idiot politicians and their ill informed advisors try spinning their way out of this mess.
@arnold- have you not seen what is happening in Israel, Singapore and other countries that have been highly vaccinated? Or do you choose not to see because it’s a ‘ red ‘ thing with you.? It’s friggin’ time to stop the BS and let us live freely. If you want to vaccinate do it, if you want to wear a mask do it, if you wanna stay home do it. If all those measures work than you don’t have to worry about others!!!Vaccines don’t give you immunity, don’t stop you from spending or catching-what is going on is medical tyranny. I keep saying- COVID doesn’t scare me half as much as the politicians and the Covid Nazis that have crawled under the rocks.
@arnold
I generally agree with Arnold. A lockdown of 4 weeks could get cases down to zero.
But I don’t agree that vaccination is the answer because these vaccines have not worked to end the pandemic in any other country. Even in highly vaccinated countries, case numbers are still rising and hospitalizations and deaths.
Maybe the Cuban vaccines work better. So perhaps a 4-week lockdown and then acquiring Cuban vaccines.
But the Antiguan government will not do that because the people running things are beholden to outside forces that want everyone to take these inferior vaccines – whatever their real motives may be.
One thing is for sure, even if every man, woman and child received Pfizer or AZ in Antigua, the pandemic would not be over and would probably be worse than ever.
Is Covid-19 the only disease killing persons in Antigua and Barbuda? I am concerned because there seems to be no other killer diseases,anymore.I am fully aware that Covid-19 and the Variants are deadly.How many persons have died in September at the Hospital from other means?
People are dying from other diseases because the hospital beds are all taken up with unvaccinated covid patients
Big man stop kissing Gaston Clown’s ass, stop lying, stop spreading propaganda. there is no unvaccinated person in the hospital, its only vaccinated ppl catching covid-19 and dying, note that I said covid-19 and not covid.
since you are confidence I want you to go to the hospital, make a video providing the proof and evidence that there are unvaccinated ppl there.
and when you are done tell us why places like Israel and Gibralta with the highest vaccination rate and they have cases through the roof.
additionally why did norway use their commonsense and ended the covid-19 plandemic and reclassified it as a common cold? why? because they used their brains and realized for themselves.
go look up the american medical dictionary which states that covid is a common cold.
all they did was mutated it and started to inject ppl with it which also includes chemicals, nano particles and everything ungodly.

https://www.usnews.com/news/business/articles/2021-09-26/rowdy-celebrations-across-norway-with-end-of-covid-measures
also refer to the cdc database: https://openvaers.com/ and you shall see for yourself that there are nearly 1.6million cases all after vaccintion which includes:15,386 COVID Vaccine Reported Deaths / 24,380 Total Reported Deaths, 66,642 Total COVID Vaccine Reported Hospitalizations/144,557 Total Reported Hospitalizations and 726,963 COVID Vaccine Adverse Event Reports
WHEN YOU WANT TO TALK MAKE SURE YOU HAVE THE FACTS FOR WHAT YOU ARE SAYING SO YOU DONT SOUND OR SEEM LIKE A BLASTED CLOWNISH IDIOTIC FOOL. IT WILL BE TOO LATE FOR MANY OF WHO WHEN YOU FINALLY REALIZE THIS HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH COVID BUT ITS TO BRAND EVERYONE TO PUT THEM INTO THE NEW SYSTEM, THE BEAST SYSTEM.
SOON THEY GONNA CRASH THE ECONOMY, START THE NEW DIGITAL SYSTEM AND EVERYONE OF THE PPL THAT SURVIVES THE INJECTIONS WILL BE FULL SLAVES IN THE SYSTEM AND THATS GONNA BE HARDLY ANY CUZ YALL HAVE A SHORT TIME SPAN
Arnold, the hospital in Antigua is a death sentence. Before vaccination the COVID cases were under control. All of a sudden the vaccine came on the seen and everything went haywire. Go figure. What is happening is that Antigua needs leadership from the top-down. The Minister of health is not doing his job after having that position for ever so the Directors in the hospital are not held accountable. The doctors and nurses won’t care if those at the top don’t put certain protocol in place. It is a Domino effect. Gaston don’t have the wherewithal to see that the Minister is doing his job effectively and the Minister don’t have the leadership skills to make changes at the hospital and so it trickles down. The system needs revamping or else a brief stay in the hospital unfortunately leads to death. Compassion and strategy goes a long way my friend.
What has become of that matter at the Royalton Hotel.It was supposedly turned over to the DPP.
RED KOOL AID it was swept under the rug, although the idea of getting the DPP involved in the first place was ridiculous and preposterous. It was all a big excuse for nothing to happen.
