COVID-19 Pos­i­tive Pa­tients in Hos­pi­tal – (29).  Four (4) new pa­tients are en route to hos­pi­tal.

COVID-19 Pos­i­tive Pa­tients in Step-down / Tran­si­tion Fa­cil­i­ties – (0)

In­ten­sive Care Units (ICUs) are hos­pi­tal wards that pro­vide treat­ment for peo­ple who are very ill. They are staffed with health care pro­fes­sion­als who are trained in ICU treat­ment and the use of so­phis­ti­cat­ed mon­i­tor­ing equip­ment.

High De­pen­den­cy Units (HDUs) are wards for peo­ple who need more ob­ser­va­tion, treat­ment and nurs­ing care than is pos­si­ble in a gen­er­al ward but slight­ly less than that giv­en in an In­ten­sive Care Unit.

An Am­bu­la­to­ry Pa­tient is able to walk about and is not bedrid­den.

If you or a loved one de­vel­ops symp­toms of COVID-19, please call the hot­line 877-WELL or 800-WELL (9355) for fur­ther guid­ance. If the per­son is se­vere­ly ill, call the 811 (emer­gency hot­line) or call ahead to the Ac­ci­dent and Emer­gency De­part­ment of your near­est hos­pi­tal for help and go in im­me­di­ate­ly.

The Gov­ern­ment of Trinidad and To­ba­go will con­tin­ue to up­date the pub­lic via its of­fi­cial com­mu­ni­ca­tion chan­nels such as the Min­istry of Health’s web­site (health.gov.tt), the Min­istry of Com­mu­ni­ca­tions Web­sites (moc.gov.tt and news.gov.tt) and the rel­e­vant so­cial me­dia pages of these en­ti­ties (Face­book, Twit­ter and In­sta­gram).
