Numbers continue to fall in a very pleasing way, and today’s new cases as a percentage of total cases fell to 2.4% (from 55% just before lockdown).
|
The College and individual members are still active in encouraging strong measures during and after lockdown to reduce the chance of a flare-up of new cases, and today, the Ministry announced a quarantine of all new arrivals.
|
Financial assistance
The Ministry said they’d update us tomorrow or on Saturday on financial assistance to UCCs.

Testing
On 8/4/20 the MoH announced that:
|
- Asymptomatic contacts were now being tested.
- The Ministry is ‘watching very closely’ progress with IgG / IgM blood tests (including fingerprick) as a rapid, simple, cheap and potentially more accurate testing method, able to reveal Covid-19 acute infection and immune status.
MoH meeting
We have a teleconference on Tuesday April 14th with the Ministry and again invite members to reply with any concerns or suggestions.
