The Epidemiology and Surveillance Unit (ESU) reminds the public that all information gathered through case management and contact tracing processes is kept in confidence and can only be shared for the purposes of safeguarding public health. Any enforcement action regarding breaches of the COVID-19 Regulations is separate from the Epidemiology and Surveillance Unit processes.

“The Epidemiology and Surveillance Unit understands that there may be persons associated with a social event which led to a number of new cases that are not known to us,” said Minister of Health, Kim Wilson, JP, MP.

“We believe that these persons know of their exposure and are reluctant to make themselves known for a variety of reasons. However, we strongly encourage these persons to get tested, contact the ESU and follow all recommended public health guidelines to protect their own health and the health of others they may come into contact with.”

“As well, I want to take this opportunity to publicly thank everyone who answered our request to get vaccinated yesterday as we had additional doses of the vaccine available,” added Minister Wilson. “There were more people than we anticipated, and we are grateful for all those who wanted to be vaccinated. There is a big demand, and we encourage everyone to go online to register or call to register.

A very special thanks, also, to the volunteers and staff at Bermuda College and Bermuda Hospitals Board vaccination centres, who went to extraordinary lengths, working long hours, to make sure that these doses were not wasted.”

You can register your interest in taking the vaccine by completing the registration form through https://forms.gov.bm/covidvaccine or by calling 444-2498, option #2. The hotline hours are 8:30 am – 5 pm, Monday to Friday and 9 am – 1:30 pm on Saturdays.
