Doctors are treating more patients for influenza and flu-like illnesses at this time, but there is no evidence of an increase in COVID-19 cases.

That clarification has come from President of the Barbados Association of Medical Practitioners (BAMP), Dr Lynda Williams.

Dr Williams told CBC News that any official information regarding an increase in COVID-19 cases should come from the Ministry of Health and Wellness.
