Message from the Ambassador Regarding Coronavirus (COVID-19)
Dear Nationals and Friends of Grenada,
I bring you greetings from the Staff of the Embassy and hope that this message finds you safe and well.
I want to reassure you that the Embassy is here to support you. While we are all working from home, we are still working for you.
We received a flood of phone calls in the last two weeks, and we have tried our best to answer your questions and address your concerns. In an effort to keep you updated on what is happening in Grenada without overloading your inbox, we have created a post at the top of our homepage to upload all COVID-19 related press releases from Grenada.
Like you, we see the very real images and reports from around the world, and we are trying to stay as safe as possible. As we all stay home and practice social distancing, let us look out for each other. There are many living alone; use technology to check on friends and loved ones and we will continue to use this platform to reach out to you.
If any of you think you may be experiencing symptoms of COVID-19, please take all the necessary steps for recovery by seeking guidance from your primary care physician.
I also urge you to guard your mental health as much as you look after your physical wellbeing. Eat healthy, drink lots of water, exercise often, and calm your mind.
We are all in this together, and together we will rise above this pandemic. Be well. Be safe. We look forward to the restoration of full service and to seeing many of you around the United States when this crisis is over. In the meantime, we stand ready to assist in any way we can.
With God’s richest blessings,
Ambassador Smith
