Castries, October 19, 2021 – The ability to test quickly for COVID-19 is a critical part of the national response to the virus. This is especially so for health officials managing cases in this fourth wave. And that’s where the Ezra Long Laboratory at the Owen King EU Hospital comes in. It is tasked with a 24-hour turnaround of test results. Laboratory Director Dr Wayne Felicien says it is a commitment the lab has been able to meet with the assistance of the St. Lucia Electricity Services Limited (LUCELEC). 

Castries, June 7, 2021 – As the energy that powers the nation’s success, St. Lucia Electricity Services Limited (LUCELEC) has one main goal as the country grapples with the COVID-19 pandemic.  It is to keep the pandemic outside the power plant and ensure the lights stay on. But it has not been business as usual. Far from it. Especially in the past 16 months when achieving that ideal called for focus on its staff, customers and contributing to the national effort.
