Grenada confirms 19th COVID-19 case

Health officials in Grenada have announced the laboratory confirmation of the 19th case of COVID-19 — with 18 of those cases on Island.

“We can also announce that 10 of our cases are now recovered, which means that we have 8 active cases,” said COVID-19 response coordinator Dr. George Mitchell.

“The individual is a male, and he is a workplace colleague of our 15th case and two of the other cases confirmed last Saturday.”

Mitchell said officials have not yet determined the original point of contact for the workplace cases.

“We must caution that due to that unknown, we must all be prepared for the probability of a community spread. From our end, we are expanding our teams in preparation for that possibility — since it will necessitate increased testing, contact tracing, building capacity for quarantine, active monitoring and other related activities.”

Mitchell called on Grenadians to help by doing their part in the COVID-19 fight.
