The number of active COVID-19 cases in Dominica has dropped to three (3).<\/p>\n

Minister for Health, Dr. Irving McIntyre, announced at a press briefing on Saturday evening that the number of recovered COVID-19 patients in Dominica has risen to 13 and there are now only three active cases on the island.<\/p>\n

At a ministry of health COVID-19 press briefing held on Tuesday, April 21, it was reported that nine patients had recovered.<\/p>\n

The following day (April 22), the number climbed to 10 according to a post on the prime minister’s Facebook page and by Saturday, April 25, three more patients had recovered bringing the total number to 13.<\/p>\n

The number in the government quarantine facility is ten (10).<\/p>\n

Dr. McIntyre said in light of this development, the technical committee of the Ministry of Health COVID-19 operations has recommended that some amendments be made to The Emergency Powers (Curfew) Order 2020 (SRO 15 of 2020) to allow some more services to resume operations.<\/p>\n

“The recommendations, in addition to the services which are already functioning, would include insurance companies, laundry services, book stores and auto mechanic shops,” the health minister revealed at a press briefing on Saturday evening.<\/p>\n

However, based on the committee’s recommendations, a number of restrictions will remain in place and will be reviewed by May 4th, 2020.<\/p>\n

“That is, closure of bars, night clubs, game shops, closure of hair salons, closure of manicure and pedicure shops, closure of barbershops,” Dr. Mcintyre stated.<\/p>\n

He said the ministry of health will continue to review the situation and be proactive in its approach.<\/p>\n

The number of confirmed COVID-19 cases remains at 16 and so far, there has been no COVID-related death.<\/p>\n

383 people have been tested and 362 of those have returned negative results.<\/p>\n

According to Dr. McIntyre, community testing, especially in the areas where the disease was discovered, will begin on May 1st.<\/p>\n

There have been no new cases during the last 18 days.<\/p>\n

The latest COVID-19 numbers for Dominica can be seen in the chart posted at the bottom of this article.<\/p>\n
