We know that vaccinated or not..you can still get the virus.
But the best bet of not getting it is to wear proper masks, social distance , wash hands and be in proper ventilated areas?

all of the above ,plus vaccination is effective. you CAN get it if vaccinated, just like you CAN win the lotto -the poin is the chances are reduced by the efficacy rate-eg. with an efficacy of 80% it means 80% less ppl who are vaxxed will get it. u should watch teh VOX video.

since march tho...

Data keeps coming in....

Well then, they should bring the full brunt of the law to find out who did that and prosecute them with whatever state resources are available.

The same way the could find Imbert son's phone, they could find out who did this. If they really want to ......

Not necessarily fake news but not applicable to Trinidad. It could be an actual memo from Guyana's Ministry of Health.

This is why I quoted Guyana and told him they doing that currently, a ministry cannot outright ban the citizens from its services they will still have to see both the unvaccinated and vaxxed even with mandatory vaccinations in place however by appointment only

The post I was responding to could have easily given the impression that the document was a forgery.

 THE DELTA VARIANT HAS REACHED T&T

Aug 11, 20212 min ago

The Ministry of Health advises the population that today, 11th August, 2021, Trinidad and Tobago confirms its first two cases of the COVID-19 Delta Variant of Concern.

The first patient is a recently returned national who travelled to Trinidad from the United States.\

The second patient is a recently returned national who travelled to Trinidad from Mexico (transiting through Panama and Guyana).

As per existing quarantine protocols, the nationals provided negative PCR tests (which were taken 72-hours prior to arrival).

The nationals were immediately placed into State-supervised quarantine, as per the protocol for unvaccinated adults.

As a result of the positive COVID-19 results from their 7th day swab, the persons were subsequently transferred and isolated in a state step-down facility.

The presence of these Delta variants were confirmed via gene sequencing at the laboratory of the Faculty of Medical Sciences, University of the West Indies.

As the public is aware, this laboratory has been testing COVID-19 positive samples from Trinidad and Tobago and other CARICOM member states since September 2020.

The population is reminded that, as at the 16 July, 2021, the Government of Trinidad and Tobago updated its quarantine protocols for persons entering the country. These protocols state that all returning adults, who are not fully vaccinated against COVID-19, should spend fourteen days in a State-supervised quarantine facility. These entry protocols will continue to be implemented.

According to the World Health Organisation (WHO), there have been confirmed cases of the Delta variant of COVID-19 in 142 countries.

Research has suggested that the Delta variant is more easily spread from person to person as compared to previous variants (estimated to be 2 to 4 times more transmissible than the original Wuhan lineage of the virus). Additionally, evidence indicates that individuals who have contracted this variant may be prone to an increased risk of severe illness and hospitalization. This variant may also lead to an increase in cases of COVID-19 in younger age groups and in those who have been previously infected.

The Ministry of Health takes this opportunity to remind the population of the importance of being vaccinated against the COVID-19 virus as soon as possible. Additionally, members of the public are reminded to follow all of the recommended personal health protective measures, even if they are fully vaccinated:

• Wear a mask over your nose and mouth when you go out in public

• Keep your distance from others (6 feet)

• Wash your hands often with soap and water or use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer

• Stay home if you are ill

• Cough into a tissue or into the crook of your elbow

• Avoid touching your face

• Sanitize hard surfaces (e.g. table tops, hand rails, door knobs and trolleys) as often as possible.

WHO Approved COVID-19 vaccines are safe, they are effective and they are available in Trinidad and Tobago. The public is encouraged to visit the Ministry of Health’s website (http://www.health.gov.tt) as well as the social media pages of the Ministry of Health and the Regional Health Authorities for further information on COVID-19 vaccination. Appointments for 1st doses of the AstraZeneca vaccine are available online via www.ttvaccine.com or by calling 800-VACC (8222).

How many persons would they have spread this to while on the plane?

[PariaMan]

How is the ventilation in an airplane if they coughed without their masks on for some reason or sneezed wouldn't the ppl close to them be subject to the virus

are they contact tracing nearby seated passengers like before or we not bothering with that as the “virus already here”

Ok...and?

[Mmoney607]

This news is irrelevant. When a vene or minister child who skip quarantine bring it in then it would be able to spread.

[teems1]

Unvaccinated morons.

Traveling as a petri dish infecting everything around them

The US has an abundance of vaccines which are more effective against the Delta variant than the Sinopharm, yet this person chose not to take it.

Should send them to Chacachacare.
