FAMILY MEMBERS moving from house to house are adding to the Government’s problem of trying to control community spread of the COVID-19 virus.
So from this week, to stem community spread in at least 11 communities, public health officials are set to go into those “hotspots” conducting between 1 500 and 2 000 swabs per day, Chief Medical Officer Dr Kenneth George revealed last night.
The tests will be divided between rapid antigen testing and the more concentrated PCR swabs.
During a press conference held at the Ministry of Health’s Culloden Road, St Michael offices yesterday, George said the latest contact tracing regime which went into specific St Michael and Christ Church communities had already identified and removed 40 Barbadians, repositioning them at quarantine-approved hotels.

Not a single person who has taken the Oxford AstraZeneca vaccine has had a serious reaction or has been hospitalized, Chief Medical Officer Dr Kenneth George said on Monday.
No major side effects have been reported from the over 38,000 people who have received the vaccination to date, he told journalists.
Dr George also revealed that no one showed any acute allergic reactions or went into anaphylaxis – allergic shock – in the first two weeks of Government’s vaccination programme.
He said: “No we haven’t had any reports of anaphylaxis or severe reactions to the vaccine. The standard things that people complained about are pain at the site of the vaccine, a bit of post-vaccination fever, and just feeling unwell which usually resolves within 24 hours.
