Governor General C. A. Smith declared a new state of emergency in The Bahamas on Friday.
This gives the competent authority the ability to have up to another six months of emergency powers.
The proclamation reads that, “…despite the fact that a national vaccination distribution program is in progress, there remains a comparatively low percentage of fully vaccinated persons in The Bahamas.”
“…There is a third wave of infections on the islands of New Providence and Grand Bahama which continues to cause illness and death in The Bahamas; and whereas according to scientific and medical advice, COVID-19 is likely to persist as a pandemic in The Bahamas for the foreseeable future.”
The governor general said he is “satisfied that the COVID-19 pandemic continues to persist in The Bahamas.”
The proclamation was released to the media today.
