Chief Medical Officer Dr. Hazel Laws says the current supply of the Oxford/AstraZeneca COVID-19 vaccine available in St.Kitts-Nevis has to be used by June 2021. She made the disclosure while speaking at the National Emergency Operations Centre (NEOC) COVID-19 Briefing held on Wednesday 21st April 2021.

St.Kitts and Nevis’ Prime Minister Dr. Timothy Harris has labelled “fake news” a 43-page document circulating via social media addressed to him from the International Tribunal related to an order to “cease and desist” COVID vaccinations, dated 18th March 2021.

“We continue to see complacency setting in, and persons getting a false sense of health security. We see this happening very frequently at parties, bars and other similar social activities.” Such was reported by member of the COVID-19 National Task Force Superintendent Cromwell Henry when he spoke at the National Emergency Operations Centre (NEOC) COVID-19 Briefing held on Wednesday 21st April 2021.

“Even up to his final moments, his thoughts and concerns were not of himself but that of his children and their well-being.”

Re-elected Political Leader of the People’s Action Movement (PAM) and St.Kitts-Nevis’ Deputy Prime Minister Shawn Richards has indicated that the course for his party’s future leadership of the Federation “has been mapped out for 2025 and it is irreversible.”

In addressing attendees at a Tourism Stakeholder’s Meeting held on Wednesday 14th April 20201 held at the Marriott Hotel, Minister of Tourism stated that a 100% immunity in the tourism sector must be achieved as he promoted and appealed for cooperation in taking the COVID-19 vaccine and likewise spoke about a policy for such going forward.

More than 150 hotel rooms in St.Kitts and Nevis are expected to be reserved so as to accommodate displaced citizens and residents of St.Vincent and the Grenadines, as one of two options, in light of the active La Soufrière volcano should requests be made for hosting facilities in the Federation.

The majority of evacuees from the red volcano hazard zone have indicated that they would prefer to stay in St Vincent, and therefore the cruise ships that had been on standby have left our waters.

The La Soufriere volcano erupted, on Tuesday, 42 years to the day as it commemorates her own anniversary with another explosive episode.

An emergency meeting was held at the Police Training School on Monday, April 12, 2021 at which the High Command of The Royal St. Christopher and Nevis Police Force (RSCNPF) met with Police Officers serving in the Federation who are natives of St. Vincent and the Grenadines.

The Ministry of Health has addressed rumours going about social media that a Philippino nurse based in St.Kitts has died from a side effect of the COVID-19 vaccination.

In support of citizens and residents living in the ash-ridden islands of St. Vincent and the Grenadines, NDC Abdias Samuel has mobilised his staff along with NEMA stakeholders to receive, document and prepare locally collected items destined for shipment there.
