There are 3 persons in isolation. The last announced confirmed positive result of the coronavirus in St Kitts and Nevis was on April 19, 2020.
Dr Laws thanked each member of the Health Emergency Centre Team for their efforts and stated:
We have been successful in containing the first wave of the COVID-19 caes. On the ground, we continue active surveillance for coronavirus disease cases, and we continue aggressive tracing of contacts of cases.
Before concluding her brief presentation, Dr Laws shared a quote by Desmond Tutu with the listening audience:
Do your little bit of good where you are; it’s those little bits of good put together that overwhelm the world.
Desmond Tutu
