  1. Can someone from the Ministry of Health explain how there can be 378 active cases and only 195 in government and self quarantine? Are the other 183 out in public?

    • They have explained the difference between isolation and quarantine. If you go on their facebook page you can see where the persons who have tested positive are being isolated (some are at home and some are at the various government facilities).

    • Quarantine doesn’t mean you have Covid-19, you are placed under quarantine when you arrive on island for 14 days as precaution. If it’s enforced smh, just pay attention to the Active Cases

  2. Still to trying understand the difference between the Local Spread and Community Spread of the Covid 19 virus…. If there is a difference which one are we now facing and which one is more difficult to control ???
