The Ministry of Health advises the public that the increasing number of confirmed COVID-19 cases which have been recorded recently coincide with increased risk of spread of the virus during the Christmas season. The recent numbers reflect the reduction in adherence to COVID-19 guidelines,
inclusive of close social interactions in the festive season which increased the risk of exposure to the virus.
Today, January 14, 2021 is exactly fourteen days since the celebration of the New Year which also marks the completion of a full incubation period for the virus, which health officials have been monitoring from the start of this year. The Ministry anticipated capturing increased cases of COVID-19 at this point in time as a result of increased risk of exposure that occurred during the
recent New Year festivities.
