that should have been done already when we hit 100 cases in a day
but with the new variant, we need to lockdown hard & early for 2 weeks, similar to new zealand to eradicate this variant b4 it's too late, which by next week will probably be too late. otherwise playing the wait & see game is going to have us at a high rate till most ppl vaccinated, which means restrictions on for months/years.

What you trying to say here? Kinda obvious the Brazilian strain came from Venezuela, it's only in 40 countries and ~1000 venes come in monthly.

Ministry on Brazil COVID-19 variant: No evidence yet of 'seeding'
LOOP NEWS CREATED : 21 APRIL 2021COVID-19
The Ministry of Health said it has not yet detected any evidence of seeding (spreading) regarding a variant sample of COVID-19, known as P1 or the Brazil variant, which was recently detected in the country.
Epidemiologist Dr Avery Hinds said contact tracing methods have not yet revealed evidence of seeding, or virus spread, to date:
“At the current time with the active contact tracing and testing of anyone who would have been determined to have been in contact, there isn’t currently any evidence of seeding and the individual in question is currently in isolation.”
Dr Hinds said they continue with contact tracing and testing of known contacts to look out for any possible cases within that circle and will update when more information is obtained.
On Monday, the Ministry said testing from a local COVID-19 sample revealed the presence of the P1 variant.
The Ministry said the sample was taken from a COVID-19 positive patient in the Nariva/Mayaro County and was sent, via the Caribbean Public Health Agency (CARPHA), to the University of the West Indies (UWI) Laboratory.
The Ministry assured that all quarantine protocols remain in place to prevent the spread of the virus to the national community.
The country's borders are currently closed to international travel.
Reports indicate that the P1 variant is more contagious and has seen the hospitalisation of younger patients, with more than 50 per cent of the patients in Brazilian intensive care units in March below the age of 40.
Elderly patients with underlying conditions remain most at risk for contracting the variant, just as the original version of the virus.
CARPHA noted that a recent study conducted by AstraZeneca suggests that the vaccine will work against the Brazil COVID-19 variant.
