Good morning Bermuda, Members of the Media, and thank you for joining me today.

We are all now aware that COVID19 disrupted our school system this previous weekend.  Out of an abundance of caution, the Department of Health made the cautionary step to require the students and teachers who spent the most significant time with the students indoors to quarantine.  These affected schools are St. George’s Prep P2 Class, Paget Primary’s ASD Class and as of yesterday, West End Primary’s P5 Class.

The Ministry of Public Works advises the Public that effective 5:00 pm on Sunday, 29 November, the Department of Parks 2020 Season Lifeguard Service will end.

The Park Ranger service will continue patrolling south shore parks, however, there will be no stationary presence.

Yesterday, there were 593 test results received by the Ministry of Health, and one was positive for COVID-19.

The Ministry of Health can confirm that the most recent case is in a symptomatic resident with no history of travel and remains under investigation by the Epidemiology and Surveillance Unit.

Case isolation and contact tracing is already underway and it has been determined that the newly identified positive case has a close contact that is associated with a school, who has now become symptomatic.

Yesterday, there were 526 test results received by the Ministry of Health, and two were positive for COVID-19. Both cases are classified as imported and tested positive on arrival via DL584 from Atlanta on 17 November 2020. Both cases had pre-departure tests.
