The <span class=\"xn-location\">Caribbean<\/span> nation, home to around 287\u2008000 people, registered fewer than 400 cases of the disease for the whole of 2020. But January, 2021, saw a surge.

On the same day, <span class=\"xn-location\">Saint Lucia<\/span>, an OECS member state, declared a state of emergency. It has confirmed more than three times as many cases of COVID-19 this year as it did last year. Like <span class=\"xn-location\">Barbados<\/span>, <span class=\"xn-location\">Saint Lucia<\/span> has imposed a nightly curfew on its 180\u2008000 or so residents. Community transmission of COVID-19 has also been established in other parts of the <span class=\"xn-location\">Caribbean<\/span>, including <span class=\"xn-location\">Haiti<\/span>, <span class=\"xn-location\">Jamaica<\/span>, Saint Vincent and the <span class=\"xn-location\">Grenadines<\/span>, and <span class=\"xn-location\">Trinidad and Tobago<\/span>.<\/p>\n<p>Ryvex remains committed in aiding with the efforts to contain the COVID19 pandemic in The <span class=\"xn-location\">Caribbean<\/span> region through partnerships with public and private health institutions in the region.<\/p>\n<p>Ryvex is the official distributor for SD Biosensor in The <span class=\"xn-location\">Caribbean<\/span> region. <\/p>\n<p>Photo &#8211; <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/mma.prnewswire.com\/media\/1456359\/Ryvex_antigen_kits.jpg\" rel=\"nofollow\">https:\/\/mma.prnewswire.com\/media\/1456359\/Ryvex_antigen_kits.jpg<\/a> <\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>SOURCE  Ryvex<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p> <\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"xn-content\">\n<p><span class=\"xn-location\">MIRAMAR, Florida<\/span>, <span class=\"xn-chron\">March 15, 2021<\/span> \/PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE\/ &#8212;\u00a0Ryvex, LLC (<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.ryvex.net\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">www.ryvex.net<\/a>)\u00a0in partnership with SD Biosensor (<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.sdbiosensor.com\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">www.sdbiosensor.com<\/a>)\u00a0have donated over 20,000 rapid Antigen tests to the OECS member states and <span class=\"xn-location\">Barbados<\/span>.
