(Antigua Observer) Prime Minister Gaston Browne is insisting that the fight to control the spread of the dreaded coronavirus is one for the entire region and not a single country.
Browne made the statement during the interview with the Observer, in relation to a spike of COVID-19 infections in Barbados, and mixed reactions from the public after he dispatched a letter of solidarity to his Barbadian counterpart, Mia Mottley.
By all accounts, the spike is directly linked to a ‘bus crawl’ party on Boxing Day, which increased Barbados’ COVID-19 cases from 356 (48 active) to over 500 cases on January 2, 2021, while small clusters are still under investigation.
