Coordinator of Operation Seek And Save, Dr Dion Greenidge, is reporting that they have reached more than 84 000 in the exercise.

He gave the latest tally while speaking on the final day of the survey exercise designed to gather information from individual families about their vulnerabilities to dengue and COVID-19.

Greenidge said more compiling still had to be done but up to yesterday, he was satisfied with the way Barbadians responded.

“I think we were able to cover the vast majority of houses in Barbados, especially those people who were home. So we are confident that we did the task set out, and we know for sure we have over 84 000 at the present moment. (TG)
