            HAMILTON - Health officials on Saturday announced two more confirmed cases of novel coronavirus (COVID-19), bringing Bermuda’s total to 37, as the island began a 14-day lockdown designed to stem the coronavirus that has already claimed the lives of more than 64 000 people around the world.

            Both new patients are in hospital, along with four earlier ones. All six are said to be in a stable condition.

            The news came after 25 test results came back, 23 of which were clear. More test kits are on their way from London.

            A government spokeswoman said: “Out of the 37 total cases, 14 people have recovered. There are 17 active cases under active public health monitoring.”

            She added the two new cases were under investigation to establish how they caught the disease. The average age of the confirmed positive cases is 47 and the age range is 18 to 83.
            "The only security we have is our ability to adapt."

                There have been 25 travellers to Bermuda pre-screened for Covid-19, the illness caused by a novel coronavirus strain spreading around the world — with all persons passing the 14-day monitoring period....


                http://www.royalgazette.com/news/art...or-quarantined
                Police warned that anyone breaching shelter-at-home rules would be dealt with after people under quarantine invited friends on social media to visit them at the centre where 123 people are being held in strict isolation for 14 days.

                People brought back to the island from overseas have to undergo an isolation period to limit the risk of spread of coronavirus infection.

                The police said it was aware of “social-media messages circulating, regarding individuals who are being quarantined” that were “encouraging friends to come and visit”.

                The police notice added: “This kind of behaviour will not be tolerated.”

                Many of the island’s 39 confirmed cases of Covid-19 were people who had travelled back to the island from the United States or Britain.

                Some of the online messages from quarantined people also gave away the location where returnees are held, which the Government had kept secret for security reasons.

                Wayne Caines, the Minister of National Security, said yesterday it was “disappointing” to see the messages.

                But he added: “Let’s not talk about exceptions to the rule.

                “The majority of people in government quarantine facilities have governed themselves with discipline and aplomb and have followed the rules.”

                The news came after Commissioner of Police Stephen Corbishley on Monday condemned “ridiculous” excuses given to officers at checkpoints set up to make sure people had a good reason for being away from home during the lockdown.

                    Two New Positives, 50 Total, No New Deaths
                    April 11, 2020 |

                    [Updated] The Ministry received two more positive test results, Bermuda now has a total of 50 confirmed positive cases, 28 have now recovered, and there have not been any further Covid-19 related deaths.

                    Minister of Health Kim Wilson said, “Between Good Friday and today, Saturday 11th April, the Ministry received 47 new test results; 45 were negative, and two were positive. Of the two new positives, one was an imported case and one was a contact of a previously confirmed case. We count our blessings that there have been no further COVID-19 related deaths.

                    “Bermuda’s total confirmed positive cases stands at 50; 28 have now recovered, eight persons are hospitalized, and there are 10 persons that are under active public health monitoring, but who do not require hospitalization. However, the good news is that three persons who were previously hospitalized, have now been discharged from hospital, giving us all hope that recovery can be possible...

                      The current World Health Organization risk assessment for novel coronavirus (COVID-19) is very high risk globally. It is advised that all countries prepare for the possibility of COVID-19 in their communities. Everyone has a role to play in getting ready and staying healthy by practicing everyday prevention measures like frequent hand washing, staying home when sick and covering coughs and sneezes. The World Health Organization has declared the current coronavirus situation as a pandemic. A pandemic is the increased and sustained transmission of a disease across many countries.

                      Surveillance for respiratory illness has been enhanced in collaboration with local public health partners. Persons with respiratory illness including fever and cough should call ahead and inform their health care provider of their travel history prior to attending for medical care.

                      This is a rapidly changing situation. Please regularly check this page for updates.
