The Ministry of Health has strongly condemned and described as \u201cFAKE NEWS\u201d, reports that Grenada has 40 new COVID-19 cases.<\/p>\n
Acting Chief Medical Officer Dr. Shawn Charles condemned the report which he says can harm the perception of Grenada\u2019s ongoing response to the COVID-19 pandemic and its future outlook.<\/p>\n
The CMO told the GIS on Tuesday that he is deeply concerned that this action can hinder the Ministry\u2019s response, especially as valuable time can be wasted in addressing this falsehood.<\/p>\n
Dr. Charles added that these deliberate acts to spread \u2018online falsehoods\u2019 in and about Grenada can have serious consequences, and he noted that such actions are illegal.<\/p>\n
\u201cAs was, and still is the case, we will continue to inform the public accordingly once there are new cases. To date, there are \u201cNO NEW CASES\u201d of COVID-19 in Grenada. The total number of COVID-19 cases remains at 24, and there have been no new cases since July 22, (34 days ago)\u201d explained (CMO) Charles.<\/p>\n
The public is advised to report all attempts to spread \u201cFAKE NEWS\u201d which can lead to unnecessary panic at this time. The Ministry of Health advises and reminds the public to trust news only from credible sources.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
