BMOTA Holds Coronavirus Seminar For Vendors At Freeport Harbour

FREEPORT, Grand Bahama, March 20, 2020 — The Bahamas Ministry of Tourism and Aviation (BMOTA) partnered with the Public Hospitals Authority this week to present a health seminar on novel coronavirus to taxi drivers and local vendors. The session, held at the Freeport Harbour on March 16, was coordinated to share accurate information regarding the virus and provide general safety precautions to take amid growing concerns.

“It is important to remember that coronavirus is not necessarily a death sentence,” Dr. Frank Bartlett, head of the Grand Bahama Coronavirus Task Force, said. “As much as 80% of the persons who have the infection have no symptoms whatsoever and 15% of the cases end up in hospital.”
Following the recent announcement of the COVID-19 pandemic, The Grand Bahama Chamber of Commerce has been monitoring these developments closely via updates from the Ministry of Health and has decided to close our offices temporarily, effective Friday, March 20, 2020. We believe it important to share the temporary changes we have made which may impact our interactions with you.
As you’re aware, we extend the use of office space and facilities to members, however due to these extraordinary circumstances, we appreciate your understanding that the office will be unable to accommodate these requests.
