Three more cases of viral illness

Barbados’ confirmed cases of coronavirus (COVID-19) moved to 365 – 195 females and 170 males, after three people returned positive results from the 1 060 tests completed by the Best-dos Santos Public Health Laboratory on Sunday.

Those testing positive are a 44-year-old male visitor, who arrived on Jet Blue on December 26; and a 26-year-old male visitor and a 52-year-old female visitor, who each came into contact with a known case. They are all asymptomatic.

The number in isolation has increased to 53. No one was discharged from the Harrison Point Isolation Facility today, so recoveries remain at 305.

Seven people have died.

The laboratory has conducted a total of 67 709 tests. (BGIS)
