The number of cases of COVID-19 in T&T remains at 103, after 43 new samples tested by the Caribbean Public Health Agency returned a negative result. The total number of samples tested so far, according to the Ministry of Health’s latest update, is 779. 

The Ministry of Health reminds the public that COVID-19 can be spread by touching surfaces that are contaminated with the novel coronavirus. It is important to regularly sanitize commonly touched surfaces (e.g. table tops, handrails, door knobs and trolleys). If dirty, they should be cleaned using a detergent or soap and water prior to sanitization. A simple solution of 1/3 cup of household bleach to one gallon of water is quite effective. The important elements of  sanitization are disinfecting frequently and thoroughly, and using the cleaning product correctly.
