The Ministry of Health and Wellness is making an urgent appeal to people who recently frequented a number of areas.

“Based on information reaching the Ministry of Health and Wellness that several bars in the Nelson Street, Wellington Street, and Suttle Street areas, as well as on the Spring Garden Highway are associated with a recent cluster of coronavirus (COVID-19 cases), the ministry urges persons who have frequented such establishments within the last two weeks as well as individuals who have been in close contact with such persons to get tested for COVID-19.

“Tomorrow, Monday, August 2 and Tuesday, August 3, persons can go to the Wildey Gymnasium Testing site, the Eunice Gibson and Branford Taitt Polyclinics from 8 a.m to noon.

The ministry said that after the bank holidays, the main testing site at the Gymnasium of the Garfield Sobers Sports Complex will be open, Monday to Saturday from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. and Sunday from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m.; while the Eunice Gibson and Branford Taitt Polyclinics will be open from 8:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. (PR)
