Trinidad and Tobago’s Minister of Health Terrance Deyalsingh says there are no plans for fresh covid-19 restrictions in the twin island republic despite a rise in the number of cases.
Minister Deyalsingh speaking during an influenza drive reiterated that shutting down T&T’s economy by implementing restrictions both pre- and post-Carnival is not part of the government’s plan at this time.
He said as it stands the healthcare system currently has more than 200 beds allocated for COVID-19 patients, of which 13 are occupied.
According to Loop News, T&T’s health minister assured that his Ministry was working assiduously to secure additional COVID-19 vaccines for the population.
Minister Deyalsingh said that in June last year the T&T government started to look at sourcing COVID-19 vaccines, knowing that their stock was going to expire in September. He said those negotiations are ongoing and they seem promising.
