The Ministry of Health announced on Thursday that there are no newly confirmed cases of COVID-19 in The Bahamas.
Speaking at a press conference, Dr Merceline Dahl-Regis said the number of recovered cases is up by five to 31 and active cases are at 50.
Key points from the press conference:
• Dr Dahl-Regis said there are fewer than 250 people now in quarantine, many having graduated out. However, 12 people who have passed their 14-day quarantine period cannot be found in order to check their status.
• The Ministry of Health is concerned about the number of frontline health workers who have been exposed to COVID-19. 22 healthcare workers, including five physicians, have been affected so far.
• There will be a risk analysis for all Bahamians returning to the country tomorrow. An evaluation will be done of everyone and where they want to stay – if their home is suitable for quarantine they will be allowed to sign an agreement.

Today is one of the most active days across New Providence since the Corona pandemic started. So by middle of next week the country will know if the testing to continue reopening the economy and community was passed of if further lockdowns and delayed openings are necessary.
