Based on the assessment of the technical team in the MOHW and after consultation with the technical team at the PAHO/WHO on Wednesday, September 2, 2020, I am now advising the Public that Jamaica is declaring community transmission of the SARS-CoV2 virus.
@themohwgovjm #JaCovid19
@themohwgovjm #JaCovid19
Community transmission means the inability to relate confirmed cases through chains of transmission for a large number of cases, and the increasing positive tests through sentinel samples especially from persons coming to health centres and hospitals.

As the country may be aware, the Government of Jamaica, based on the information provided by the @themohwgovjm through its continued monitoring and surveillance exercises for COVID-19, has instituted the quarantine of communities within St. Thomas & Clarendon.
The St. Thomas communities include Bamboo River, Church Corner and Summit. To date, the MOHW has conducted more than 300 home visits and collected over 700 samples.

Dr Hamilton says that the National Lab was on target to clear the backlog, but didn't receive the necessary reagents to do so. A large shipment of kits is due next week, which will allow for the testing to clear the backlog. #COVID19 #JaCovid19 #Jamaica

The Ministry of Health and Wellness at the beginning of this experience outlined 4 phases for the plan. Those being:
1.Inter-Pandemic Phase
2.Alert Phase
3.Epidemic phase
4.Recovery Phase

While the Ministry is very cognisant of the fact that the current state of the epidemic is still very fragile and adherence to the Infection Prevention Control measure are critical to the mission of management and control of the epidemic...
RECOVERIES
I am happy to report that over the last 48 hours, EIGHT (8) more persons have recovered from COVID-19, bringing the total number of recoveries to 57.
