Tobago at 65% hospital bed capacity
Health Secretary Tracy Davidson-Celestine -
THA Secretary of Health, Wellness and Family Development Tracy Davidson-Celestine has called for the public to co-operate with the policies and the protocols in light of increasing covid19 numbers in Tobago.
In its Tuesday update, the division said there were ten new covid19 cases on the island. The release said active covid19 cases had increased to 53 while deaths remained at two.
In a WhatsApp voice note on Tuesday, Davidson-Celestine said 53 is the largest number ever recorded on the island.
“I think it’s important for people to understand that we have 53 active covid19 cases on the island and rapidly increasing numbers daily. This represents the largest number of positive active covid19 cases recorded in Tobago in any one cycle and this would eventually, if it continues, put a strain on all of our systems.”

OPPOSITION Leader Kamla Persad-Bissessar has filed a no-confidence motion against Minister of National Security Stuart Young for denying citizens entry to TT during the ongoing covid19 pandemic.
Alleging poor management of migration and border control, she accused Young of failing to discharge his duty and of “a clear and present danger to the national security of Trinidad and Tobago,” in a statement on Wednesday.
Young in reply said he was unfazed by the motion and said Persad-Bissessar was simply trying to use him to seek political relevance.
