Subject: Ministry of Health, Wellness , Environmental Health and Energy Refutes False Hantavirus Claims Circulating on Social Media

The Ministry of Health, Wellness, Environmental Health and Energy wishes to advise the public that reports currently circulating on social media, including WhatsApp, alleging that an individual was diagnosed with Hantavirus upon arrival in St. Vincent and the Grenadines, placed in quarantine, and subsequently left an isolation facility are FALSE .

To date , there have been no suspected or confirmed cases of Hantavirus in St. Vincent and the Grenadines, and no individual has been placed in quarantine or isolation for Hantavirus-related concerns

The Ministry continues to work diligently with local, regional, and international partners to monitor emerging and re-emerging public health threats. Surveillance measures remain active at the nation’s ports of entry, including seaports and airports, as part of ongoing efforts to protect the health and well-being of all residents and visitors.

Special thanks the public for its cooperation and encourages everyone to help break the cycle of misinformation. Before sharing or forwarding health-related messages, verify the information through official press releases. Rather than reposting unverified claims, we encourage members of the public to share this official notice and information published by the Ministry of Health, Wellness, Environmental Health and Energy.

Sandy Bay, Overland and Georgetown thank you for your valuable contribution and your feedback in today’s Health Emergency Plan stakeholder consultations.

As we approach the hurricane season and continue to face emerging and re-emerging health threats, your voices and community experiences remain critical in strengthening our national health preparedness and response efforts.

This consultation was made possible with support from Caribbean Public Health Agency (CARPHA) through the OECS Regional Health Project, a World Bank-supported initiative aimed at strengthening health system preparedness capacities for public health emergencies across the Eastern Caribbean.

This Child’s Month, we continue our How Yuh Feeling campaign by helping our children grow emotionally healthy from early. 💚

Big feelings in little bodies can sometimes look like tantrums, tears, loud moments or bursts of energy but every emotion is communicating something.

When we ask children, “How yuh feeling?” and respond with patience, comfort and guidance, we help them build emotional intelligence, healthy communication and resilience for the future.

Let us strive to raise children who feel seen, heard and understood! 🧠✨

Ask it. Mean it. Listen.

Special mention to the narrator Kaia Kydd for beautifully bringing this message to life.
