There is a need to boost the testing on the island. All hospital patients and health care workers with severe acute respiratory infections should be tested for COVID-19. A sample of patients who visited health centres or accident and emergency departments at the hospital should also be tested and by going into the hot spot communities and conduct testing. Infrared thermal camera scanning at hospital entrances and in the emergency department to recognize any persons (including visitors) with fever at first point of entry. Seek assistance to expand its testing capacity. The World Health Organization has recommended increased testing as a measure of containing the virus. Frequent street sterilization in the hot spot areas. Floor markers at cashiers and outside and supermarkets placing one-way directional signage in store aisles. Signage inside and outside food stores to remind customers of the need to maintain social distancing in lines, masks must be worn that cover nose and mouth at all times, signs about occupancy limits and request that one person needs to shop for he household. Installing temporary window panels at checkout stations to provide an additional layer of protection for cashiers and customers.
