“We have come through a significant journey, and today I am very pleased to hear that the Federation of St. Kitts and Nevis that all of the cases have recovered,” he stated.

Dr Wilkinson added that the patients and their families went through a terrifying ordeal after being diagnosed with COVID -19.

“I just want to tell them how happy I am for them and I am pretty certain that the entire nation feels the same way,” the senior health official stated.

To be classified as recovered, the patients must have two successive tests for the coronavirus return with negative results.

The general public is strongly encouraged not to stigmatize any of the recovered patients.
