    Case #120 is a 78 year old male from the Gros-Islet district
    Case #121 is a 33 year old male from the Castries district
    Case #122 is a 38 year old male from the Castries district
    Case #123 is a 44 year old male from the Gros-Islet district
    All of the cases, following testing for COVID-19, were placed in quarantine awaiting their test
    results. Five of these cases were identified through the contact tracing process and epidemiological
    links have been established for five of these cases. Case #112 is linked to case #74. Case #114 is
    linked to case #68. Cases #118 and #119 are linked to case #53. Case #121 is linked to case #95. As
    per protocol, arrangements have been made for the transfer of these individuals into care.
    These new cases now bring the number of active cases currently in country to 91. All cases remain
    stable and there are no cases requiring critical care.
    Households, communities, and workplaces are all central to the national effort to contain the spread
    of COVID-19. By maintaining adherence to the infection prevention and control guidelines in all
    these various spheres, it is possible for the transmission of the virus to be interrupted. It is possible,
    by consistently maintaining the measures, even when in the most familiar and comfortable of places,
    the risk of exposure to the virus will be reduced. We ask all to minimize their movements, avoid
    social gatherings, and other activities which lend themselves to a greater risk of exposure to the
    virus. Continue daily practicing the guidelines which include:
    – wash your hands frequently with soap and water or use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer
    when handwashing is not possible
    – wear a mask every time you are in public
    – maintain a separation of six feet from others which is about two arm’s length apart
    – seek medical care if experiencing respiratory symptoms which include fever, cough,
    shortness of breath, sore throat
    – avoid contact with people who are experiencing respiratory symptoms

    All these practices, when done together, will significantly reduce the likelihood of being
    infected with or transmitting the virus.
    The Ministry of Health and Wellness will continue providing updates as new information
    becomes available.
