Three persons have gone into isolation, after testing positive for the viral illness
on their second tests in Barbados.
They are a 54-year-old female visitor, who arrived on a Caribbean Airlines flight
on November 27; a 62-year-old female visitor, who arrived via Caribbean Airlines, and a
45-year-old male visitor, who came in on American Airlines. They both arrived on the
island on November 30.
They were asymptomatic, and the only positive cases identified among the 314
tests conducted yesterday.
No one will be released today, and as a result, there are now 20 persons in
isolation. The number of confirmed cases now stands at 284 – 147 females and 137
males.
To date, the Best-dos Santos Public Health Laboratory has conducted 48,896.
