Family physician Dr Adrian Lorde says he does not believe Government’s 24-hour lockdown in response to the spread of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) came too late.

With Barbados having recorded 52 positive COVID-19 cases up to yesterday, for him it was “an unprecedented situation” that remained “fluid” and he was intent on playing his role by looking after those with long-standing medical problems. (SNR)
