Good afternoon.
Sadly, I begin my remarks today by reporting that since our update on Monday, Bermuda has had another COVID-19 related death.
I extend sincere condolences to the family and friends who recently lost a loved one in the circumstances related to this coronavirus. You are in our thoughts and prayers.
As I have said repeatedly, the pandemic is not over, and the omicron variant continues to circulate throughout our community. Our positive cases are increasing, and it is important to note that new cases are outpacing our recoveries.
