With Carnival fast approaching, the number of visitors increasing, and COVID-19 cases on the uptick, Health Minister Terrence Deyalsingh gave an update on the country's preparedness on Wednesday (24th January, 2024). Speaking with the media during the Influenza Vaccine Drive at City Gate, Minister Deyalsingh said the Ministry is working on the matter. According to the Minister, “June last year we started to look at souring COVID-19 vaccines, knowing that our stock was going to expire in September. Those negotiations are ongoing and they seem promising but I can't give you any details because I am bound by confidentiality agreements, but we are actively looking to source more vaccines.” Minister Deyalsingh applauded the churches and businesses which voluntarily put protocols in place to protect their flocks against COVID-19. He added, “We have 272 beds allocated for Covid, only thirteen (13) people are in those beds — less than 5% of the beds are being used. Let us see what the numbers progress like but shutting down the economy and restricting movement is not on the cards.” The Minister also said screening has been taking place at the nation's ports of entry.
