The Minister of Health Kim Wilson said, “As everyone is aware, Bermuda is receiving its first commercial flight tomorrow.

This is the time to practice these measures scrupulously.”

42 imported and 85 local transmission which means every infected person coming in will give 2 people covid19…. but that was before sheltering in place, so obviously that worked.
We stopped it, but today we opened up Bermuda to the americans on the east coast and anyone on a private jet.
We just went from being a country that would be covid19 free to a wholeeeeeeee different scenario in 2 weeks.
Private jets have been coming this whole time.
Well done to all involved excellent job.
But ive stopped watching your corona virus updated because there starting to become rallies. my opinion, stay on course. If everything is getting under control maybe have just one televised update.
BUt definitely well done.
Watch out in a few weeks with people getting off and plane and going to the nearest restaurant?? HMMM
Yes the covid updates are going way off track. I no longer watch them blab blab
