MINISTER OF HEALTH Jeffrey Bostic cannot say how much longer the shutdown and curfew conditions will remain even though Barbados has had no new COVID-19 cases recorded in four days.
He warned that even with that encouraging sign, the island might not be out of danger from the pandemic that can cause severe respiratory illnesses and death.
Bostic said today that the decision determining the state of the country rested with the ministry from a public health perspective and with the Government from a general perspective.
“That is not a question I am able to answer at this time. As I said, from a public health perspective, we still have work to do and there are still a lot of things that we have to do to be sure in our minds that we can give proper advice to the Government in terms of what they would be able to do,” he added.
