On Thursday I presented a team that would be responsible for delivering on the unprecedented mandate of trust received from the people of Bermuda on October 1st. One of the appointments made on that day has generated some significant concern, concerns which I must equally now share. 

Her Majesty The Queen, has recognised the following Bermudians in her 2020 Birthday Honours List:

Commander of the British Empire:

• Mr. Jeremy Cox CBE – for services to the economy of Bermuda.

Queen’s Certificate & Badge of Honour:

Good morning,

Thank you so much for joining us this morning. What an unusual year this has been. 

For the last 8 months, all of Bermuda has had to readjust how we conduct our lives; reevaluate how we interact with one another; and redefine how we provide services to the people of this country.

I am pleased to say that while we were in the throes of a global pandemic, the men and women of the Bermuda Post Office rose to the challenge and continued delivering mail, thus providing Bermuda with the stellar customer service that it is known for. 

The Ministry of Health would like to advise the public that, commencing 14^th October, the seasonal influenza (flu) vaccine will be available for priority groups through their doctor or the Flu Express at a cost of $15.00 per shot (for both adults and children).
