No community spread Health Minister St. Clair ‘Jimmy’ Prince was adamant that given the WHO definition, there was no community spread of the coronavirus in SVG. By: Dayle Da Silva• Minister of Health St Clair ‘Jimmy’ Prince maintains that the transmission of the COVID-19 virus here in St Vincent and the Grenadines is not to be categorized under community spread. He made the statement during last Wednesday’s sitting of the House of Assembly in answer to a question posed by Leader of the Opposition Dr. Godwin Friday. The World Health Organization (WHO) defined community spread as being evidenced by the inability to relate confirmed cases through chains of transmission for a large number of cases, or by increasing positive tests through sentinel samples.
