The Ministry of Health has been closely monitoring the number of COVID-19 cases since January, 2021. Notably, it is observed that there is a marked increase in COVID-19 positive cases and hospitalizations on the islands of New Providence, Grand Bahama and Abaco that has become disconcerting.

The public is reminded that COVID-19 vaccinations are now available in-country for those who wish to exercise the option to be vaccinated.
