St Kitts and Nevis: people warned against COVID-19 fatigue

There are some questions asked by some persons to health authorities in St Kitts and Nevis time and again as the country is managing the COVID-19 pandemic successfully.

Most experts say that this is COVID-19 fatigue as people are growing weary of restrictions which are imposed due to the pandemic.

Dr Cameron Wilkinson said that even if they face daily questions, the health and safety protocols will stay in place to protect the people from the deadly virus.

Two new imported cases of the COVID-19 travelled to St Kitts on Saturday, November 21 and were placed in quarantine immediately after transportation to an approved quarantine facility.

Both the patients are in isolation.

Dr Wilkinson urged the residents to remain vigilant and follow the non-pharmaceutical measures of sanitizing hands, wearing facemasks and physically distancing as they are effective in protecting persons from contracting COVID-19.

He said that the COVID-19 protocols are the reason why St Kitts and Nevis is a country with a low case count so far, with no current hospitalizations, and no deaths to date.
