Executive Director of the Caribbean Public Health Agency, CARPHA, Dr Joy St John says the region is preparing for an explosion of coronavirus cases.
She says the region’s response has been very effective when compared to other regions.
Dr St John says 80% of individuals who become infected with the coronavirus will have mild symptoms, if any.
She says at the stage of intensive care, persons may even develop pneumonia and other signs of the disease and despite an increase in confirmed cases, Dr St John insists the region hasn’t reached its peak.
