Barbados will soon have a dedicated health communications team to better inform the country about all matters related to the spread and treatment of COVID-19.
The team is being set up to ease some of the pressure off Prime Minister Mia Amor Mottley, Minister of Health Jeffrey Bostic, chairman of the Cabinet COVID-19 Sub-committee Senator Dr Jerome Walcott, and public health officials.
Ambassador to the United Nations (UN), former minister of health Liz Thompson, is being brought back to the island to be part of the team, along with president of the Barbados Association of Medical Practitioners, Dr Lynda Williams; communications and marketing specialist Tyson Henry, who is based in Dominica, and a fourth person who is being targeted, Mottley said during a national address from Ilaro Court on Friday.

More doctors are coming to Barbados to assist in the COVID-19 fight.
Prime Minister Mia Amor Mottley, in an address to the nation yesterday evening from Ilaro Court, said chairman of Cabinet’s COVID-19 Sub-committee, Senator Dr Jerome Walcott, had been in discussions with several foreign governments the past couple of days.
“We have been in contact with the Cuban government and we have requested a number of additional doctors and specialists – two communicable disease specialists, two respiratory disease specialists, two intensive care specialists, two anaesthesiologists and a respiratory therapist.”
She added that four English-speaking lab technicians would be attached to the Best-dos Santos Public Health Laboratory for extra hands.
