Prime Minister of Barbados Mia Mottley
The Government of Barbados on Thursday imposed a curfew on the entire island starting at midnight until January 14, in an effort to stem the spread of COVID-19.
The announcement was made by Prime Minister Mia Mottley following news that the island recorded 10 new COVID-19 cases.
Speaking at a media briefing, the prime minister told Barbadians that all fetes have been cancelled.
During the press conference, Minister of Health and Wellness Jeffrey Bostic said of the 10 cases, five are of particular concern, with two being prison officers.
He said the ministry is actively pursuing and investigating these cases because they cannot be linked to recent travel.
