At the first virtual assembly of the World Health Organization, Chair of CARICOM, Hon Mia Mottley insisted on inclusion of small states in access to procured services and goods to fight COVID-19, particularly rapid testing equipment in order to avert economic collapse. Prime Minister Mottley advocated for the use of measures other than gross domestic product (GDP) to determine eligibility for grant and relief needs for small island states.
