    Today Thursday November 19, 2020, the Ministry of Health received confirmation of 20 new cases of COVID-19. This brings the total number of cases diagnosed in country to date to 203.


    Ten of the cases are non-nationals. Two of these cases are visitors to Saint Lucia. Case #186 is a 28 year old female visitor and case #190 is a 29 year old male visitor. Both of these individuals arrived in Saint Lucia on Monday November 16, 2020. On arrival, they went through the established screening processes and given they did not have the approved test, they were required to undergo COVID-19 testing in country. They proceeded to a COVID-19 approved accommodation where they were placed in quarantine pending their results. The individuals have been placed in isolation. The Ministry of Health has commenced contact tracing as per protocol.


    On Sunday November 15, 2020 a cargo ship arrived into Saint Lucia carrying 11 crew members. After reports of respiratory illness among some of the crew members, they were all assessed and tested for COVID-19 and were placed in quarantine on the vessel.

    The Ministry of Health received confirmation that eight of the crew have tested positive for COVID-19. These are cases #185, #187, #188, #189, #192, #195, #197 and #202. These individuals are currently in isolation and are receiving care.
