** IMPORTANT NOTES

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.

Consequently, the Ministry of Health encourages the general public to continually adhere to the health precautions - avoid social gatherings, maintain adequate social distancing, wash hands frequently, and wear a mask. The public is reminded that COVID-19 vaccinations are now available in-country for those who wish to exercise the option to be vaccinated.
