7 Passengers Test Positive For COVID-19 On First Cruise In The Caribbean

The Barbados government is asking its citizens to remain calm and that their health is not at risk from the infected passengers. 

“There is absolutely no compromise from our perspective in terms of public health compromising, so there is nothing at all for Barbadians to be worried about,” said Health and Wellness Minister Jeffrey Bostic in a radio interview.  

“I can’t speak for the cruise ship and I don’t want to be able to do that, but I can safely say that we are assisting like we have been doing all the time and that assistance is being provided through the Dos Santos Lab doing the testing and the isolation facility at Harrison Point at this time has one person and we will continue to assist, we have the capacity to do so,”
