Consultative Committee

Thursday 4 February 2021
Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen, members of the press, and welcome to an update from the National COVID-19 Vaccine Consultative Committee on the steps being taken to prepare for the distribution and administration of the COVID-19 vaccine in The Bahamas.
I am accompanied today by the Chief Medical Officer Dr. Pearl McMillian, Deputy Chief Medical Officer Dr. Delon Brennen, Dr. Gina Archer, Assistant Hospital Administrator and Mr. Ed Fields, deputy chairman of the Consultative Committee.
Yesterday, The Bahamas recorded 16 new confirmed cases of COVID-19. Of that number, 13 were recorded on New Providence, 5 were imported. One on Grand Bahama, Eleuthera and Andros respectively.
I am very pleased to note that a number of Family Islands have gone many weeks without recording a single confirmed case of COVID-19.
Following a challenging second wave this past summer, the current case numbers and hospitalizations show the transmission of COVID-19 throughout the country remains relatively low.
We continue to monitor the daily incident cases, hospitalizations and COVID related deaths
