As the numbers continue to fluctuate, CPS will continue to actively execute its contact tracing measures.
Minister Ottley would like to inform the public that moving forward CPS will combine the number tested outside of the airport and the number tested at airport. The numbers will be combined for the fact that any positives that come out of persons tested on entry are added to our positive case counts and the same holds for any outbound passengers who test positive.
