🧺🛒🛍 After the launch of our drive just 4 days ago, we first and fore-mostly would like to give thanks to those who have shown their compassion and support to our cause without hesitation be it via monetary, food or clothing donations thus far. 💰👕👖🥫🥛🧃 ••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
📍To date, we have been receiving items on a daily basis (never did we think the outpouring of acts of kindness would have been this much after such a short time) and we hope that more persons would be willing to come forward to support a worthy cause! ••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
📍For those of you who may be unsure as to what items you can donate, we’ve done several categorised lists that can be used as a guide. If there are any other items you would like to donate but don’t see it on the list, feel free to send us a DM and we would be more than willing to let you know if it would be acceptable to donate. ••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
📍If you know persons who may benefit from these hampers, please send us a message as we are currently making a list of candidates. ••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
📍Other businesses are also encouraged to partner/join in this drive as it is for the greater the good of our country & it’s less fortunate citizens especially in these difficult times. ••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••

Hmmmmmmmmm

26/03/2020

⚠️Long hours under layers of PPE...

• 🥵Soooo hot I can feel the sweat dripping down my back

• 😷Mask on, making it difficult to breathe .

•🥽 Protective goggles and masks, leaving lines and bruises on our faces after prolonged wearing

•🧤Double gloving...I suffer from hyperhydrosis (sweaty palms and feet) so my gloves are filled with sweat and are so tight making it difficult to write. .

• 🥴That sweet sweet itch on my face that I have to mentally scratch because I need to practice self restraint and proper hygeine. .

• 🤔Could you imagine if you were to work under such conditions? Everyday? Well I surely can....and let me tell you, it’s the most uncomfortable thing ever but I know it’s benefits so I definitely will continue to adhere to proper protocol for the well-being of myself and my patients.

• Its time you to do your part, practise proper hygeine, wash those hands, stay at home, stay away from others, call your healthcare provider with regards to your concerns. 🚿🛁🚰🧼🧽🦠🧬🧫🧻😷

First COVID-19 related death in Trinidad. Condolences to the loved ones of this patient... 🙏🏽🥀💐

Statement by the Honourable Terrence Deyalsingh, Minister of Health, on the Death of a COVID-19 Positive Patient

25/03/2020

👩🏽‍⚕️ “We stay at work for you, please stay at home for us!”😷
•
🧬COVID-19 is a very contagious respiratory illness which can affect multiple age groups with a range of symptoms from none, to mild, moderate and severe. 🤧🤒🤢🤕😷
•
🦠As the cause of COVID-19 is a coronaVIRUS, the only way we can treat mild-moderate cases is via symptomatic treatment (that is, we treat your fever, cough, cold, body aches etc) and currently there is no known cure or medication that can “kill” the virus.
•
💊If any complications occur (example: - superimposed bacterial infections, patients MAY be treated with antibiotics and other supportive measures)
•
🗺 We have been seeing so many stories globally about the way in which this virus has wrecked havoc on societies, the health system and placed pressure on medical personnel. With all this information, please listen to the warnings of countries which did not implement measures to contain spread quickly enough.
•
‼️HELP US FLATTEN THE CURVE!!!!‼️
What does this mean? 🤷🏽‍♀️
Simple measures such as self isolation, social distancing and leaving the house for ONLY ESSENTIAL SUPPLIES/APPOINTMENTS (urgent medical visits, groceries and medical supplies) can help contain the spread of this highly contagious disease.
•
🤔If you believe you have a cough/cold/fever/shortness of breath or may be at risk for contracting COVID-19, many hotlines are available. Please contact these numbers and you will be guided accordingly. (877-WELL)
•
🙅🏽‍♀️Refrain from showing up to health centres/doctors offices unannounced if you believe you are unwell and show flu like symptoms. A simple call 📞beforehand will be greatly appreciated so that measures can be put in place to minimise contact and transmission from your arrival to when you leave the office.
•
⚠️Remember, you may survive the virus with only minimal signs and symptoms, but please take a moment to consider those who have underlying chronic medical conditions, are immunocompromised and are elderly. These persons may not be as lucky as the young and healthy at fighting the virus.
•

👩🏽‍⚕️We medical professionals are doing our part and using the resources provided by the government...long days in face masks, eye shields and gowns which make it difficult to breathe, cause us to feel excessively hot and even claustrophobic at times. But we don’t complain, we get up everyday to fight the same battle for the greater good for our patients.
•
😷We are doing our part to protect ourselves and you in an attempt to minimise contact and spread. Please do your part to protect us as well. Stay at home unless absolutely necessary. Cases have been rising daily and will continue to do so unless we as a nation are proactive and follow the recommendations of the government, ministry of health and your doctors. 🇹🇹
