While new concerns looming about the nation’s capacity to contain a fresh outbreak of COVID-19 with the gradual reopening of the island’s borders, Errol Greene, the regional director of the Western Regional Health Authority (WRHA), believes his administration is in a state of readiness to give of its best.
In an interview with The Gleaner on Tuesday, Greene said that although the opening of Jamaica’s ports to visitors and returning nationals is outside his administration’s control, the WRHA is doing all it can to put itself in a position to respond to whatever situation may arise.
The WRHA boss stated that among the measures being utilised to curtail the spread of the coronavirus is the geofencing technology, which is being used to monitor persons entering Jamaica’s borders to ensure that they adhere to quarantine guidelines.
We also have a team of persons who give literature to everyone coming in through the region’s ports, whether through Montego Bay or Falmouth, to tell them how to protect themselves,” explained Greene.
While noting the possibility of travellers entering the island with the virus, Greene said the health authorities must continue to be thorough in the fight against COVID-19.
Hundreds attended a rally by Seif Sharif Hamad of the opposition Alliance for Change and Transparency, ahead of Tanzania's general election on Wednesday.
Hamad is vying for the presidency of Zanzibar, a semi-autonmous archipelago ruled by Dar-es-salaam.
But Zanzibar, just as mainland Tanzania has been hostile ground for the opposition. Just before Hamad's rally, the party's chief campaigner on the island went missing before re-emerging on Sunday afternoon.
Nassor Ahmed Mazrui was allegedly abducted by unknown people who held him captive for five hours.
The opposition is hoping to unseat president John Magufuli, who since coming to power in 2015, has stifled political and civil liberties according to activists.
\"Life is tough and the union is really crushing us, they don’t give any right to Zanzibarians, they only break us Zanzibarians. It prevents Zanzibar from having a good life and [from] growing,\" said Sherif Moussa Faki, bus driver and opposition supporter.
The opposition, headed by Tundu Lissu- the Chadema presidential candidate, hopes to turn the anger of supporters like Faki into votes.
President Magufuli's Chama Cha Mapinduzi (CCM) party has dominated Tanzanian politics since independence.
Twenty seven (27) million people are eligible to vote on Wednesday.
Magufuli has promised to create jobs for Tanzania's youth by stepping up investment in infrastructure projects.
Lissu on the other hand has promised to tackle corruption, draft a new constitution and to deregulate business and foreign investment.
Both the opposition and ruling party camps have been holding big rallies without concerns for the pandemic. President Magufuli has said there's no virus in the East African country.
Veteran educator and Franciscan Sister Angella Harris was yesterday hailed as a woman steeped in grace and humility as family, friends, and colleagues and several persons whose lives she touched joined in a memorial service to salute her.
The former principal of Immaculate Conception High in St Andrew and Mount Alvernia High in Montego Bay, St James, was remembered as a sports-loving enthusiast who exemplified simplicity.
Known as a strict disciplinarian who had compassion for those she led, Harris spent more than 25 years in the education system.
A graduate of St Hugh’s High, The University of the West Indies, Sam Sharpe Teachers’ College, and Central Connecticut State University, Harris taught at Hillel Academy for a year before her first stint at Immaculate Conception High as a teacher for five years.
She then moved to Mount Alvernia High, where she taught for 16 years, including her last 10 years as principal, before returning to Immaculate in September 2005 as principal.
