Health officials have suggested the merging of Hurricane Dorian shelter victims has presented a challenge with scabies.

According to a recent Ministry of Health Situation Report. 296 people were treated for scabies at the Kendal G.L Issacs Gymnasium, as of last Tuesday.

Two hundred and ninety-four people were being housed in the Kendal G.L. Isaacs Gymnasium, while another 346 were spread across three large tents on the site.

The Calvary Baptist Church on West Avenue, which had been housing storm victims, was deactivated as a shelter site last Friday.

Thirty-eight of those storm survivors transferred to the gymnasium.

Numerous evacuees from Abaco and Grand Bahama have described shelters conditions, particularly at the gymnasium, as cramped and exposed, with families sharing several mattresses on the ground just feet away from strangers.
