Good morning,
Mr. Speaker,
Today I would like to provide this Honourable House with an update on the very valuable public feedback and contributions that we have received during our management of this COVID 19 crisis.
Mr Speaker, the objective of communicating during a crisis is to get clear and accurate information to as many people, as quickly as possible. This ensures those receiving the information are well informed and know exactly what they are supposed to do, and when. Ideally the facts must reach the audience wherever they are comfortable getting their news.
The Department of Marine and Ports Services advises the public that starting Monday, 11 May, the ferry service will resume under a reduced operating schedule with limited passenger capacity.
The Bermuda Fire and Rescue Service (BFRS) is advising that it is currently providing a Remote Video Inspection (RVI) service specifically for buildings and construction sites.
With the COVID-19 pandemic preventing in person inspections, the BFRS notes that the video inspections will enable Fire Prevention Division inspectors to conduct smaller routine inspections, consultations, select integrated system tests, Fire and Life Safety Risk assessments and Fire Certificate Occupancy Inspections without physically being there.
Today there were 150 test results received by the Ministry of Health. None were positive for COVID-19.
