The Of­fice of the Prime Min­is­ter has con­firmed that Prime Min­is­ter Dr Kei­th Row­ley has con­tract­ed COVID-19 again, but it ap­pears that be­ing vac­ci­nat­ed is work­ing in his favour.

Just as the Min­istry of Health had to de­stroy hun­dreds of vials of Pfiz­er-BioN­Tech COVID-19 vac­cines af­ter they ex­pired on June 30, it is like­ly it would do the same for the pae­di­atric ver­sion come Oc­to­ber this year.

WASH­ING­TON (AP) — Pres­i­dent Joe Biden on Wednes­day emerged from five days of iso­la­tion af­ter con­tract­ing the coro­n­avirus, telling Amer­i­cans that “COVID isn’t gone” but say­ing se­ri­ous ill­ness can be avoid­ed with vac­cines, boost­er shoots and treat­ments.

Work­ers of Re­pub­lic Bank Tu­na­puna Branch have scored a vic­to­ry against their em­ploy­er, Re­pub­lic Bank Ltd, over the work­ers’ re­fusal to work af­ter a man­ag­er test­ed COVID-19 pos­i­tive last year, and the com­pa­ny is­sued warn­ing let­ters and docked their pay in re­sponse.

There was on­ly one new death—a ful­ly vac­ci­nat­ed per­son—from COVID-19 in To­ba­go, dur­ing the pe­ri­od 17-23 Ju­ly 2022, ac­cord­ing to the sec­ond week­ly up­date from the Di­vi­sion of Health, Well­ness and So­cial Pro­tec­tion, in the To­ba­go House of As­sem­bly (THA).  To­ba­go’s death toll is now 273, as at Sat­ur­day 23 Ju­ly 2022.

Three more peo­ple have died from COVID-19, ac­cord­ing to the lat­est ad­vi­so­ry from the Min­istry of Health.  Their deaths have pushed up the na­tion­al death toll to 4,045 lives lost.

One more peo­ple has died from COVID-19, ac­cord­ing to the lat­est ad­vi­so­ry from the Min­istry of Health.  This lat­est death has pushed up the na­tion­al death toll to 4,042 lives lost.

WASH­ING­TON (AP) — For more than a year, Pres­i­dent Joe Biden’s abil­i­ty to avoid the coro­n­avirus seemed to de­fy the odds. When he fi­nal­ly did test pos­i­tive, the White House was ready. It set out to turn the di­ag­no­sis in­to a “teach­able mo­ment” and dis­pel any no­tion of a cri­sis.

A new COVID-19 vac­ci­na­tion cam­paign to sen­si­tise par­ents, care­givers, and ado­les­cents about the ben­e­fits of im­mu­niza­tion is be­ing de­vel­oped and will soon be im­ple­ment­ed by the Caribbean Pub­lic Health Agency (CARPHA).

No new lives have been lost to COVID-19 to­day, re­ports the Min­istry of Health in its lat­est ad­vi­so­ry.  As such, the na­tion­al death toll re­mains at 4,041.

There were no new deaths from COVID-19 dur­ing the pe­ri­od 10-16 Ju­ly 2022, ac­cord­ing to the first week­ly up­date from the Di­vi­sion of Health, Well­ness and So­cial Pro­tec­tion, in the To­ba­go House of As­sem­bly (THA).  To­ba­go’s death toll is 272, as at Sat­ur­day 16 Ju­ly 2022.

Prime Min­is­ter Dr Kei­th Row­ley says gov­ern­ment will have no hes­i­ta­tion in re­turn­ing to the mask man­date if the sit­u­a­tion with the spread of COVID 19 war­rants it, and he is en­cour­ag­ing cit­i­zens to con­tin­ue wear­ing masks, al­though the of­fi­cial man­date to wear masks was lift­ed on Sun­day.
