Dahl-Regis also said that children under the age of 10 are not required to take a COVID test when traveling to The Bahamas.
Is every "doctor" in this country a complete moron? Children who are asymptomatic will spread the Chinese Virus without even knowing it because they touch EVERYTHING, and we all know majority of U.S children don't wash their hands!
We've had 12 CONFIRMED cases in SIX days with limited testing in the country, imagine what the numbers would look like if we had mass testing. Grand Bahama has less than 200 swabs on the island, it's been over 7 months since the Chinese Virus was first discovered, it is inexcusable why we still don't have enough test kits!!!
Minnis, Dahl-Regis, and the rest of the crayon eaters at the Ministry of Health and Ministry of Tourism must resign IMMEDIATELY and all should be sent to Sandilands, if not then ship all these buffoons out of the country and send them to Red China where they can happily lick the boots of their Chinese Master aka Xi Jinping!!!
CLOSE OUR BORDERS NOW!!!

These numbers are going to take off. We are hardly doing any testing. We are still under 0.7% of the population tested. We are one of the most backward nations in the world.
I understand that she is not testing everyone and is trying to save the tests. Buy some more tests.
She has no idea what is going on.

If you count all the illegal haitian immigrants currently residing in our country thanks to our previous "leaders" not having any balls, then we are currently under 0.2% of the population tested!

Please bring Dr. Sands back!

Dr. Sands was useless during this pandemic, but I would easily prefer him over the Wonder Dummies aka Minnis and Dahl-Regis as our Minister of Health. Sands is wicked but at least he knows how to communicate!!!

Big deal! That’s the risk we took opening the border. Stop making a headline or press conference every time we have a new case. It’s causing the public to become paranoid for no reason and scream “close our borders” without understanding. Only one hospitalized case reported, and for the past few weeks there were none. If some don’t take the safely guidelines seriously, travel for leisure and get the virus, too bad for them!
Make it mandatory for any Bahamian or foreigner returning/arriving to have a negative PCR test regardless of the amount of hours spent abroad. Where are the promised ankle monitoring bracelets to keep track of those on mandatory quarantine? Where is the widespread random testing for the public Minnis promised months ago? Only a fool with money to waste will pay $200 for a test to find out their status if they’re not sick. Get a competent Minister or health and medical professionals to consult the government , cause this bunch is useless!
