Oyena Mhloniphekileyo. UGqirha Hubert Minnis, Inkulumbuso ikhuphe oku kulandelayo Bhahamas Idilesi yeSizwe kubhubhane we-COVID-19:
Abanye abantu baseBahamas kunye nabahlali: Molo emva kwemini. Siyaqhubeka ukwenza inkqubela phambili ekuqulatheni ukusasazeka kwentsholongwane ye-COVID-19. Kuba sisebenze ngokukhawuleza kwaye sithatha isigqibo njengelizwe saza sasebenzisa uluhlu olubanzi lwamanyathelo, siye sakwazi ukunqanda ukusasazeka kwentsholongwane eyingozi. Ukuza kuthi ga ngoku, kusele iimeko ezingama-96 eziqinisekisiweyo ze-COVID-19 kwi-Bahamas. Oku kubandakanya i-74 kwi-New Providence, i-8 eGrand Bahama, i-13 eBimini kunye ne-1 eCat Cay.
UMphathiswa wezeMpilo uxele ukuba akukho matyala ongezelelweyo aqinisekisiweyo e-COVID-19 namhlanje. Sele zine iintsuku ukusukela ukuba ityala eliqinisekisiweyo le-COVID-19 lixeliwe. Inani lamatyala afunyenweyo angama-42. Amatyala asebenzayo akwi-43.
Zisixhenxe iimeko zokulaliswa esibhedlele. Inani lokusweleka okunxulumene ne-COVID-7 lihleli kwi-19, iwaka elinamakhulu asibhozo aneshumi elinesine (11) iimvavanyo ezigqityiweyo. Kodwa kufuneka siqhubeke ukuhlala siphaphile ukuze sikhusele inkqubela yethu kunye nokunciphisa ukusasazeka koluntu.
Njengelizwe elincinci asinakuvumela inkqubo yethu yezempilo ukuba iphazamiseke. Kufuneka siqhubeke nokuziqhelanisa nomzimba, sinxibe iimaski zobuso kwaye sihlamba izandla zethu rhoqo nangokucocekileyo. Kufuneka siqhubeke nokulandela umkhondo wobundlongondlongo, ukuvalelwa yedwa kunye neendlela ezahlukeneyo zokufika ngexesha kunye nokutshixa.
Bantu baseBahamas kunye nabahlali: Njengokuba siqhubeka ukwenza inkqubela phambili, siza kuthatha amanyathelo ngengcebiso yamagosa ezempilo ekuvulweni ngokuthe ngcembe kwiziqithi ezahlukeneyo kunye neendawo ezithile zoqoqosho lwethu, kunye nokuqheleka kobomi bemihla ngemihla obuza kubakho kwethu ixesha elithile. Kufuneka sithobele imigaqo-nkqubo yezempilo yengingqi kunye nehlabathi xa siphinda sivula uqoqosho lwethu kunye noluntu. Ndiyaqaphela kwakhona, ukuba sicetyiswa ngamagosa ezempilo, siya kubuyela kwizigaba ezithile okanye sinyanzelise izithintelo ezithile ukuthintela ukusasazeka koluntu.
Ndiyaluqonda ngokupheleleyo ixhala kunye nokudandatheka kwabantu abaninzi baseBahamas kunye nabahlali ukuze baphinde bavule uqoqosho lwethu. Kodwa kufuneka senze ngobulumko kunye nengqiqo elungileyo. Kufuneka silinganise impilo, ezoqoqosho kunye neemfuno zentlalo zabemi nabahlali.
Njengoko nisazi, sisekwiSigaba 1B sesicwangciso sokuvula kwakhona kuzwelonke, kodwa siqalisile ukwazisa amacandelo eSigaba 2 njengoko ilizwe litshintshela ngokupheleleyo kwisigaba sesibini sesicwangciso. Ndonwabile ukwazisa ukuba iCat Island, i-Long Island, i-Abaco kunye ne-Andros ngoku bazokwazi ukuphinda baqalise imisebenzi yorhwebo ngoMvulo, nge-18 kaMeyi.
Makhe ndiphinde ndigxininise kuzo zonke iziQithi zeNtsapho ezikwaziyo ukuqhubeka nomsebenzi wezorhwebo ngeentsuku zekhefu zokufika ekhaya kunye namanyathelo okutshixwa kweempelaveki asekhona, njengoko kunjalo ngamanyathelo okuhamba emzimbeni kunye nemfuneko yokunxiba iimaski.
Abazalwana baseBahamas kunye nabahlali: Sonke sinomdla wokubona uqoqosho lwethu luvuleke ngokupheleleyo ukuze luhambele amaBahami kunye nokwamkela iindwendwe ezibuyela elunxwemeni lwethu. URhulumente uhambele phambili kwizicwangciso zethu zokuqala ukuvulwa ngokutsha kwecandelo lethu lezokhenketho kunye nokuvumela ukuhamba nokungena kwiBahamas. Iindawo zethu ekuchithelwa kuzo iiholide, izikhululo zeenqwelo moya kunye namazibuko ethu kugqitywa iinkqubo zempilo nezokhuseleko eziyimfuneko kuthi ukubonelela ukuvulwa kwakhona.
Ukuthathela ingqalelo into eyenziwayo kwingingqi nakwihlabathi liphela, ezi zikhokelo zibanzi ziyakwenziwa ukubonelela ngesiqinisekiso esifanelekileyo sokuba ukuhamba nokuzonwabisa kukhuselekile ngokubanzi. Nakuphi na ukuvulwa kwakhona kwezinga lezorhwebo kuya kuxhomekeka kuzinzo oluqhubekayo lokuqhambuka kwe-COVID-19 eBahamas. Iya kusetyenziswa kuphela kwezi ziqithi apho ukugqabhuka bekukho.
Ukuza kuthi ga ngoku, sijonge kumhla wokuvula onokubakho wokuhamba ngorhwebo ngaphambi okanye ngoJulayi 1. Le mihla inokutshintsha ngokuxhomekeka kwiimeko. Ndifuna ukuphinda nangona kunjalo ukuba lo mhla awugqibelelanga. Kuya kulungelelaniswa ukuba sibona ukonakala kwindlela ye-COVID-19 yosulelo okanye ukuba sijonga ukuba iinkqubo kunye neenkqubo azikho ngokwaneleyo ukuze kuvulwe.
Ukuvula kwethu kuya kuxhomekeka kwintsebenziswano yakho. Ndinqwenela ukuqaphela ukuba iinkampani zokwakha e-New Providence naseGrand Bahama ngoku zinokusebenza ngeMigqibelo ukusuka nge-7 kusasa ukuya kwi-1 ngokuhlwa. . Oku kongezwe ngoLwesithathu nangoLwesihlanu kwiivenkile ezigcinwe ngoku ezivenkileni ekhaya nakwizixhobo zokusebenza. Iiyure zokusebenza zikwasebenza nakwabavelisi beefestile ezibonisa inkanyamba kunye nezinye iimveliso ezinxulumene nenkanyamba.
Ukuhanjiswa kwekharityhulamu kunye nokuhanjiswa kweenkonzo kunokuqhubeka njengoko bekuchaziwe ngaphambili kwiSigaba 1B. Amayeza ngoku asebenza ukusuka nge-9 kusasa ukuya kwi-5 ngokuhlwa, ngoMvulo ukuya ngoLwesihlanu kuluntu ngokubanzi, nangoMgqibelo nge-9 kusasa ukuya kwi-5 ngokuhlwa kubasebenzi ababalulekileyo. Kwakhona, amanyathelo okuzilolonga aye akhululeka ngakumbi ngexesha lokutshixeka kweempelaveki.
Ukuzivocavoca ngoku kuya kwenzeka ngoMgqibelo nangeCawa ukusuka nge-5 kusasa ukuya kwi-8 kusasa kwindawo ekufutshane. Kwezi ziQithi zeNtsapho zivunyelwe ukuba ziqhubeke nomsebenzi wokurhweba, abahlali baya kuvunyelwa ukuba bazibambele oononkala kwaye bathengise ngexesha langokuhlwa lwexesha lokubuya ekhaya phakathi evekini kunye nokutshixwa kweempelaveki. Njengesikhumbuzo, ezi ziqithi zibandakanya: i-Cat Island, i-Long Island, i-Abaco, i-Andros, i-Mayaguana, i-Inagua, i-Crooked Island, i-Acklins, i-Long Cay, i-Rum Cay kunye ne-Ragged Island.
Abazalwana baseBahamas kunye nabahlali: URhulumente sele eza kuqala ukuvulwa ngokuthe ngcembe kohambo lwangaphakathi kweziqithi. Icandelo loMphathiswa Wezempilo liphuhlise umgaqo-nkqubo kunye nomgaqo-nkqubo wokuvunywa nokubekwa esweni kwabantu abaya kwiziqithi eziqalele umsebenzi wentengiso oqhelekileyo. Lo mgaqo-nkqubo kunye nomgaqo-nkqubo uya kufuna ukuba abantu babhalise kwi-Ofisi yoMphathiswa Wezempilo ngokuthumela i-imeyile [imeyile ikhuselwe]. Abantu kufuneka bangenise kuvavanyo olwenziwa nguMphathiswa Wezempilo, kwicandelo likarhulumente okanye labucala.
Olu vavanyo luya kubandakanya uvavanyo lomngcipheko kusetyenziswa iphepha lemibuzo ukufumanisa inqanaba lomntu lomngcipheko wosulelo lwe-COVID-19, kunye kunye okanye ukunciphisa uvavanyo lomzimba ukumisela ubukho bazo naziphi na iimpawu ezihambelana ne-COVID-19. Ukuba uthathwa njengomngcipheko ophantsi kwaye uvavanyo lomzimba alubonakalisi zimpawu, kulindeleke ukuba umntu anikwe iKhadi lokuHamba lokuGunyazisa le-COVID-19 eliya kuthi livumele uhambo oluya kwi-Family Island. Ukuba umntu uthathwa njengomngcipheko ophezulu okanye uneempawu ezinokuthi zihambelane ne-COVID-19, umntu lowo uya kuthunyelwa kuvavanyo lokuqinisekisa ngokuqinisekileyo imeko yabo ye-COVID19.
Nangona kunjalo, umboneleli wezempilo unokuthatha isigqibo sokuba umntu onomngcipheko ophantsi unokufuna ukuvavanyelwa i-COVID-19. Abantu abahamba endaweni yabo yokusebenza baya kuxhomekeka kwiimfuno ezifanayo.
Ukuququzelela la malungiselelo, iSebe lezeMpilo lisebenzisana ngokusondeleyo noGunyaziwe wezoPhapho. Imigaqo-nkqubo neenkqubo zenziwe ukuphucula unxibelelwano phakathi kwale mibutho mibini ngezigqibo malunga: x ngubani onokuhamba; kunye x apho banokuhamba khona kwiiFamily Islands okanye eGrand Bahama.
Kwisigaba sokuqala solu hambo lokuhamba phakathi kweziqithi, abahlali beziQithi zeNtsapho ezicociweyo ababambeke eNew Providence okanye eGrand Bahma banokuhamba babuyele emakhaya emva kokuhamba kwinkqubo echaziweyo. Abantu bangaqala ukufaka isicelo ukuqala kwalo Lwesithathu, Meyi 20. Nje ukuba kucocwe uhambo, umhambi ngamnye makangenise ikhadi le-COVID-19 loGunyaziso loKhenketho kwiarhente efanelekileyo yetikiti. Ikhadi linika imvume kwi-Ofisi yoMphathiswa Wezempilo yokuhamba phakathi kweziqithi. Umntu ngamnye kufuneka naye aveze i-ID ekhutshwe nguRhulumente. Abahlali beziQithi zeNtsapho ezicociweyo banokuhamba phakathi kwezo ziqithi ngenqwelomoya okanye ngephenyane.
Umzekelo, umhlali waseLong Island unokuhamba aye eCat Island okanye nasiphi na esinye isiqithi esifakwe kuluhlu. Aba bahlali banokuhamba ngaphandle kwekhadi eligunyazisiweyo lokuhamba le-COVID-19. Abo bakwiZiqithi zeSapho ezenzelwe imisebenzi yorhwebo banokuhamba baye eNew Providence naseGrand Bahama. Kodwa ukuze babuyele kwiziqithi zabo kufuneka bagqibe iinkqubo kunye neenkqubo ezichazwe ngaphambili.
Abantu baseBahamas kunye nabahlali: Kukho inani elikhulu lobugcisa bokuzonwabisa obuye babanjiswa kunxweme lwaseBahamian ngaphezulu kweentsuku ezili-14. Aba bakhitshisi baya kuvunyelwa ukuba beze elunxwemeni ukuze baqhube ishishini eliqhelekileyo, ngelixa beziqhelanisa neeprothokholi zomzimba.
Ukugxothwa kwabantu baseBahamas abasuka phesheya kwezilwandle kuya kuqhubeka kule veki. Inkqubo icwangcisiwe ukuze kuthintelwe okwenzekileyo ngexesha lokugqibela lokuzilolonga, xa umgibeli onesiphumo esihle se-COVID-19 phesheya kwezilwandle wavunyelwa ukukhwela inqwelomoya ebuyela ekhaya.
Uvavanyo olulandelayo olwenziwe nguMphathiswa Wezempilo kulandela ukufika komkhweli lubonakalisile ukuba lo mntu ngoku une-COVID-19.
Ukuzivocavoca ukubuyela ekhaya kucwangciselwe le veki izayo isuka e-Ft. ILauderdale iye kwiNew Providence. Kuza kubakho inqwelomoya ngenqwelomoya ngolwe-Lwesine, umhla wama-21 kaMeyi kunye nomnye ngoMgqibelo, nge-23 kaMay. Uhambo oluya eGrand Bahama luya kuhlala apho kufanelekileyo.
Abo bafuna ukubuyela ekhaya ngokwenza lo msebenzi wokubuyela kwilizwe labo kwaye abahlangabezana neenkqubo ezifunekayo, kubandakanya novavanyo olubi lwe-COVID-19, banokubhukisha ngqo ngeBahamasair. Abo sele benetikiti lokubuya kwi-Bahamasair kufuneka batsalele i-ofisi yetikiti lenqwelomoya phakathi kwe-9 kusasa kunye ne-5 ngokuhlwa ejonge ngoMvulo.
Abakhweli baya kucelwa ukuba babonise iziphumo zovavanyo olubi lwe-COVID-19 kwiarhente yeBahamasair ngaphambi kokuba bavunyelwe ukuba bakhwele kwinqwelomoya. Ummeli ovela kuMcebisi Jikelele uzakubakhona ukuqinisekisa iziphumo zovavanyo.
Bantu baseBahamian kunye nabahlali: Ndinqwenela ukukhumbuza abahlali baseBimini ukuba ukuvalwa ngokupheleleyo kuya kuqala ukusebenza ngomso, ngoMvulo, ngoMeyi, nge-18 nge-9 emva kwemini kude kube ngoMgqibelo ngoMeyi wama-30 ezinzulwini zobusuku. Njengoko ndiphawulile ngoLwesine odlulileyo, oku kutshixwa kwenzelwa ukucothisa kunye nokulawula ukusasazeka koluntu kwintsholongwane ye-COVID19 kwezi ndawo.
Ndifuna ukuqinisekisa abahlali baseBimini ukuba kuya kubakho ukutya okwaneleyo kunye nokubonelelwa kwesi siqithi ngexesha lokuvala. Ukutya kunye nokuhanjiswa kuye kwafika eBimini ngempelaveki ngephenyane ukuya kugcina kwakhona iivenkile zokutya ngaphambi kokuvalwa. ISebe leeNkonzo zeNtlalontle lahambisa iivawutsha zokutya ezingama-600 ngolwe-Sihlanu odlulileyo ukuqinisekisa ukuba abahlali abasweleyo banezixhobo ezifanelekileyo zokuthenga ukutya phambi koMvulo.
Umsebenzi kaRhulumente weSizwe oSasaza ukuTya kokutya ukwalungelelanise ukuhanjiswa kweephakeji zokutya ezili-100 ngeNethiwekhi yokuThintela iBahamas, eBimini. Iiphakheji zokutya ezongezelelweyo ziya kusiwa ngaphambi kokuphela kokutshixwa.
Ngexesha lokuvala, iqela lamavolontiya ali-12 liza kunceda uMlawuli wesiqithi ngokungena nokuvavanya abahlali abafuna uncedo. Eli qela liyakunceda nasekulawuleni indawo yokutya kwesi siqithi. Umkhosi wamapolisa waseRoyal Bahamas uvumile ukubonelela ngenkonzo yokuhambisa uMlawuli kunye neqela lakhe njengoko kufuneka.
Amaphenyane aphethe ukutya kunye nokubonelelwa nawo aya kuvunyelwa ukuba abize iBimini ngexesha lokutshixa ukuqinisekisa ukuba iivenkile zokutya ziyagcinwa kwakhona emva kokuphela kokuvalwa. Ndiqhakamshile ngale ntsasa noMlawuli wesiqithi kwaye uxele ukuba isiqithi siqhuba kakuhle.
Abantu baseBahamas kunye nabahlali: Esi sifo sithathe ubomi babantu abangaphezu kwamakhulu amathathu amawaka kwihlabathi liphela. Iziganeko ezivela kwihlabathi liphela zibuhlungu. Amanye amazwe ajongene nokufa kwabantu mihla le kufutshane newaka. Inani labo lokufa okwangoku likumashumi amawaka.
Lo bhubhane ubangele ukudodobala kwezoqoqosho okokoko kwilixa lokuDodobala Okukhulu. Ngombulelo, ngenxa yengcebiso enobulumko yeqela lethu lezempilo loluntu, ukusebenza nzima kwabasebenzi bethu ababalulekileyo, kunye nokuthotyelwa kwesininzi sabaseBahamas, sibe neziphumo ezingcono kwezempilo kunamazwe amaninzi ngeli xesha lobunzima.
Kanye njengokuba sibizele iingcali zezempilo zelizwe ukuba zijongane nesi sifo, sibiza abanye abemi kunye nabahlali ngobungcali kunye nomnqweno olungileyo wokujongana neziphumo ezininzi ezinzima zezoqoqosho nezentlalo ze-COVID-19.
Kufuneka sihlale simanyene kwinjongo. Eli ayiloxesha lokwahlukana. Eli lixesha lobumbano nobubele, ngakumbi kwabo banesidingo esikhulu. Masibe sisizwe esinemfesane. Yenza okusemandleni akho ukunceda abanye.
Ndiyabulela kuni nonke nina bathobele imiyalelo eyahlukeneyo kaxakeka neengcebiso ngezempilo yoluntu. Nangona imiceli mngeni iphambi kwethu mininzi, senza izicwangciso zokuba siphumelele kunye.
Yonke imihla, sikunye noogxa bam, siyazinikela ekuphuhliseni izisombululo kunye nemigaqo-nkqubo kwimiceli mngeni engaphambili. Ndiyayixabisa kakhulu ingcebiso kwaye
Isiluleko sabaninzi benu. Masiqhubeke sithandazelana. Wanga uThixo angaqhubeka nokusikelela iCommonwealth yethu kunye nabo bonke abo baqhubeka nokunikezela ngokuzinikela kwabo kwi-Bahamas yethu. Enkosi nangokuhlwa okuhle.
Iindaba ezingakumbi ezivela kwiBahamas.
