Grenada has recorded 3 new imported cases of Covid-19.

Confirmation of the imported cases comes 3 weeks after the country’s last active cases were medically cleared.

The Ministry of Health confirmed Tuesday that the new cases are all females; 2 minors and a 36-year-old who travelled together from the United States.

They arrived aboard the Jet Blue flight on 27 February. As required for all inbound passengers, they were tested within 72 hours of departure, the results of which were negative. However, on arrival in Grenada, as is also required, they were tested again and those tests were positive.

Health officials are concerned that the new cases could be one of the new variants and as such, the samples have been sent to the Caribbean Public Health Agency (CARPHA) for testing. These results could take up to 2 weeks.

The returning nationals were approved for home quarantine prior to arrival based on the inclusion of minors; and are being monitored.

The 51 other passengers from last Saturday’s Jet Blue flight are in quarantine and will be tested on day 5, in keeping with Grenada’s Covid-19 protocols. The daily Covid-19 dashboard reveals that at present, there are 226 inbound travellers who are at various stages of quarantine.

The 3 new cases bring to 151, the total number of cases recorded in Grenada since March 2020. Of that number, 73 were imported cases.

A total of 22,381 RT-PCR tests have been conducted and as of today, 4,650 people have received the first dose of the AstraZeneca vaccine.

    Are they returning nationals..then I say welcome home. Otherwise there is a pandemic, a very infectious one. Do you have to travel and is your journey really necessary… please understand that you could have a false negative test and Grenadains could get COVID-19.
    If you don’t have to travel..please stay where ever you are. Save lives.
