Covid Cluster Being Monitored

The Ministry of Health and Wellness in the Bahamas confirmed late Sunday that health officials are closely monitoring a reported cluster of COVID-19 cases in Grand Bahama.

The cluster of cases were identified following a church retreat which was held from October 8 to 11. Of the 112 participants, 20 tested positive for COVID-19 via rapid testing. Fourteen of those were confirmed residents of Grand Bahama and the remaining six from New Providence. Of the 14 persons who tested positive, one person in Grand Bahama has been admitted to the Rand Memorial Hospital (RMH) and is listed in stable condition.
