St Vincent and the Grenadines now has 14 recovered COVID-19 cases, following the receipt of the second negative PCR result for two persons from the Caribbean Public Health Agency – CARPHA.

These results were included in a batch of results for 14 samples sent on Wednesday May 13, 2020 to the regional Public Health Lab, a release from the National Emergency Management Organisation (NEMO) said.

No new positive COVID-19 cases were reported.
