Chief Medical Officer, Dr. David Johnson says Dominica will continue in its fight against the dreaded COVID-19 in 2021.
Dr. Johnson stated in a DBS Radio newscast on Monday that to-date, Dominica has no COVID-19 deaths.
“I am very pleased that today Dominica has absolutely no deaths from the COVID virus…,” he said. “It’s something that the Ministry of Health and the Government of Dominica alone cannot do, it takes a society approach.”
The Chief Medical Officer said it takes every single person in the country to continue to fight the COVID virus and believes that the country is making strides.
“I think when we look at the statistics from other countries internationally and the region Dominica is doing well,” he stated. “I say that Dominica is doing well largely because of the strong public health policy and more so the legislations and regulations put in place by the Government of Dominica to fight this COVID.”
Dr. Johnson said the Government of Dominica is aggressively working with partners behind the scenes, including the Pan American Health Organization (PAHO) and the Caribbean Public Health Agency (CARPHA) to ensure that when the COVID vaccine is available that Dominica will be one of those countries where the vaccine will be made accessible to the general population.
In the meantime, the battle will continue, according to the CMO.
“We will continue to fight the Covid virus,” he declared.
“Dr. Fauci Just Issued This Warning About Another New COVID Strain
Yet another highly virulent new strain of COVID has recently been identified, and experts say it could be even more infectious than the ones that preceded it—including the U.K. variant that’s now been found in four U.S. states. The new COVID strain, which was first identified in South Africa, could pose a serious risk to many Americans, according to Anthony Fauci, MD, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases and leading member of the White House Coronavirus Task Force.
In an interview with Newsweek, Fauci said it was likely that the new strain of COVID—dubbed 501.V2—was already in the U.S., despite the fact that experts “have not detected the South African strain” in the country yet.
Read on to see what else Fauci had to say about the new South African strain, and why it’s cause for concern. And for insight into where coronavirus cases are on the rise, This State Now Has the Worst…
So David what are you using in combat fight COVID-19?
Just because no one has died in Dominica yet is not an indication that you are winning any fight.
First of all, there are three different approved vaccines; how many vials of any of the vaccines are imported thus far to vaccinate the population?
If you have the vacines in Dominica, perhaps they are stored in Roosevelt Skerrit Fireplace!,
Guy before boast fart; you had better pray that God has mercy on our country and people to prevent this thing from spreading among our people. While you boast fart; in America, the virus kills one patient every ten (10) minutes, that’ approximately 4,000 people per day.
For your education, we are dealing with more than one mutated strain of the virus at the moment, so how do you know which strain are you in combat with in Dominica.
Stop talking bull:
While you talk crap, our population might become extinct under your pompous nose!
