Photo by Roger Jacob US FINANCE news outlet Bloomberg has ranked Trinidad and Tobago fifth among nine developing nations hardest hit by a recent spike in reported cases of covid19. The report measured data from Johns Hopkins University, US, as of May 2. It attributed the increases among developing nations mainly to "contagious virus variants, though complacency and lack of resources to contain the spread have also been cited as reasons." The list puts TT behind four Asian countries according to the percentage of new cases compared to the previous month.
