The Ministry of Health & Wellness wishes to remind churches and places of assembly that adherence to COVID-19 protocols is required, namely the wearing of face mask, sanitization, and physical distancing during services. The Ministry further advises that the recent announcement of a return to 100% occupancy at services across The Bahamas remains contingent upon the physical distancing requirement of three (3) feet between families and individuals of different households
As it relates to social gatherings held outdoors namely, parties with greater than 300 attendees, concerts, fetes, carnivals, fairs, Junkanoo parades and/or practice rallies, must apply for approval and all attendees must be fully vaccinated or present a negative COVID-19 test and adhere to COVID-19 protocols.
The Ministry of Health & Wellness continues to monitor developments on COVID-19 and remains ready in its response to fight against COVID-19. Persons who are eligible to become vaccinated against the virus are encouraged to do so. Vaccination not only saves lives but has also been proven to substantially reduce the potential of spreading the virus.
Persons wishing to become vaccinated or receive their extended dose or booster can access appointments at vax.gov.bs, or visit the vaccination site located at the Mall at Marathon in New Providence Mondays to Saturdays 10am to 6pm. In Grand Bahama Monday to Friday 8am to 4pm at the Susan J. Wallace Centre, and in the Family Islands at their local clinics during clinic hours.
