THE NATION RECORDS ANOTHER COVID-19 DEATH

There has been a sixth death from COVID-19 in Antigua and Barbuda. Prime Minister Hon. Gaston Browne confirmed this evening, saying the individual is a 96 year old who ostensibly contracted the virus from exposure to someone who recently travelled from the United Kingdom. The head of government is again warning citizens and residents about the heightened risks from exposure to people who are not members of their household, especially those who have arrived from abroad.

Prime Minister Browne also says the previous COVID-19 fatality was as a result of exposure at a wedding. More information to follow.
