Minister Caines - 18 May Update

Good evening Bermuda.

Last week Friday we welcomed back returning residents on the Delta Airlines charter flight. One of the challenges that we had noticed from prior arrangements at the quarantine facility was that individuals were confined to their rooms for 24-hours a day. In an effort to make their stay more balanced and holistic the Ministry of National Security implemented a twice a week physical activity routine for the residents in the facility.

Good Afternoon Bermuda. Since the announcement of the end of Shelter in Place and the confirmation that we will adopt a phased approach to our reopening of our economy, there has been much speculation around when we as a country will move to phase two, and what that will look like.

COVID-19 Update by Minister Wilson

Good Afternoon,

Between yesterday and today there were 157 test results received by the Ministry of Health.

Unfortunately, we suffered a technical error in yesterday’s numbers and reported 153 results when, in fact, there were 127 received by the reporting cut-off time. Since then we received a further 30, for the total of 157. None of today’s results were positive for COVID-19.

As such, Bermuda’s total confirmed positive cases stands at 121. Their status remains as per yesterday:

TCD Restarts Call-In Service

The Transport Control Department (TCD) advises the public that the telephone call-in service offered just prior to reopening has restarted and is immediately available for all customers. 

The public will recall that the service was originally launched to provide customers without Internet access the option of calling in to relicense their private vehicles. This call-in service proved a success and was popular with many in the community.
