CARIBBEAN ROUNDUP
firmed cases across the island to
17,701.
The country death toll also climbed
to 360 after an 84-year-old man from
Kingston and St.
Andrew succumbed to
the virus.
Holness told the
House of Representatives
that the islandwide
curfew will commence at 8 pm.
Instead of 10 pm and end at 5 am.
He said the country is seeing
increased hospitalizations and an
island-wide hospital census has pointed
to significant occupancy levels
across Jamaica’s health regions.
The prime minister also addressed
questions about whether the spread
of COVID-19 in Jamaica was related to
new variants of the virus.
He said the Ministry of Health and
Wellness has advised that as part
of their surveillance activities on
new variants, they have sent off for
genome sequencing, 14 positive samples
from travelers from the United
Kingdom and would also send another
101 samples randomly selected by
parish, adding that the results from
genome sequencing “will give us better
insights into how prevalent the
new variants, if they exist, may be in
Jamaica.”
Trinidad
Trinidad and Tobago is making significant
strides in combating corruption
despite the country’s low ranking
on the 2020 Corruption Perception
Index (CPI), according to Attorney
General Faris-al-Rawi.
T&T placed 86th out of 180 countries
with a low-average score of 40
out of 100 and was deemed to the
third most corrupt country in the
Caribbean region.
Al-Rawi said on the level of corruption
in the society,
the CPI is based on
opinions and perceptions
and not an actual
assessment of the
country’s performance.
He noted that one of the assessment
factors that shows that T&T
has gone in the right direction is the
Financial Action Task Force (FATF),
which has assessed T&T by an onsite
assessment.
Al Rawi said the FATF exercise is
built around certain resolutions of
the United Nations, including the
fight against corruption, money laundering
and terrorism.’
“As a result of that assessment,
Trinidad and Tobago was removed
from the FATF negative listing,” he
noted.
