Pinder-Butler says govt must find balance between healthcare and economy
CPSA: Healthcare workers exposed on the frontlines yet “continue to be excluded from meaningful engagement with policymakers”
NASSAU, BAHAMAS — The Consultant Physicians Staff Association (CPSA) is recommending that testing remain a requirement for travel beyond May 1, due to the widespread transmission of COVID-19 cases during the current third wave.
Last week, Prime Minister Dr Hubert Minnis announced eased restrictions for fully vaccinated individuals, including exemption from RT-PCR testing for fully vaccinated travelers into and throughout The Bahamas.
Responding to the policy, CPSA President Dr Sabriquet Pinder-Butler in a statement insisted that testing should still be a requirement past the expected implementation date given that the virus is still contractable even with vaccination.
