MINISTRY of Health and Wellness officials have reported three more COVID-19 related deaths, pushing the nation’s death toll to 833.
The deaths were reported in the ministry’s September 13 release. They took place between July 22 to August 13. The deceased include two women and one man, all New Providence residents, who were 47, 71 and 85 years old.
There were also six new COVID cases reported in the September 13 report while 10 new cases were reported on September 14.
On Monday, The Tribune also reported seven more COVID-19 related deaths, according to data released by the ministry over the weekend. In a statement issued on Sunday in relation to those seven deaths, the Ministry of Health clarified that they were documented as a result of autopsy reports received on September 7. The ministry said these people died under circumstances that required autopsies — meaning they were not under a doctor’s care at the time of their deaths. The ministry also said these individuals were not known to the health system as having a COVID-19 illness that required hospital care.
According to the September 13 report, there were 112 active COVID-19 cases at that time, While on September 14 there were 116 active COVID-19 cases.
Last week, Health and Wellness Minister Dr Michael Darville acknowledged the decrease in active cases but said there are no plans for further relaxation of COVID-19 restrictions. He wants members of the public to be reminded we are still in a pandemic.
“There has been significant relaxation of COVID-19 restrictions,” Dr Darville said last week.
“The ones that remain reflect the bare minimum that are required to remind persons that we are still in a pandemic and that we are still vulnerable to increased numbers of cases because of our number one industry with source markets with decreased restrictions and testing rates.”
He also said: “COVID-19 remains a global pandemic. While we are happy that this version of the virus seems to cause a milder disease, we can never forget the challenges we have faced with the Delta variant. We do not know when the next variant will arise, nor if it will be mild like Omicron or deadly like Delta.”
The mask mandate for most indoor spaces remains in place.

Biden just announced that covid pandemic is over. We have to see whether it is a political trick. He claims that no one is wearing masks anyhow. Last week WHO also announced that the end of the pandemic is near. Only in The Bahamas covid will remain a pandemic with kids forced to vaccinate and mask mandates remaining where where globally 70% plus vaccination rate was followed by 100% covid infections. We have to see which voodoo spin our covid people follow. End if pandemic also ends testing and that more powerful than CharlesIIIRex, Competant Authority.

https://www.theepochtimes.com/us-life...">https://www.theepochtimes.com/us-life... The Bahamas is special. Real nations like in the EU, Israel, auSA are calculating far above average sudden deaths among supposedly healthy people. They are cross referencing their covid vaccine data bases as the vaccine is being used under presidential Emergency Use Authorization and only 5% tested on human impact over time for safe use.

Biden cannot serve two masters, supplying billions toward the Ukraine Russian War or funding billions into the Vax companies both for generations to come. The Vax companies fest the blow of loosing governments control or forced vaccinations or denial of Education, jobs and travel as their shares dropped by billions instantly. Biden must choose between loosing the Vax donations for power or his voters to gain power. The USA population wants neither war support for Ukraine or Vax mandate enshrined within life till eternity and another new virus with new shots. Their own science data says the vaccines made today or tomorrow is useless as the virus keeps on mutating after four months then we will Vax ourselves to death. But Biden is only using political gimmicks as he won't dare declare EUA over, which he could do with the stroke of a pen. As in The Bahamas the paid pens are at it gas lighting covid daily deaths to the front of our fears as more persons succumb to obesity and gun shots.
