Minister of Health Terrence Deyalsingh has confirmed the first case of COVID-19 in Trinidad and Tobago in just over 30 days. Minister Deyalsingh says a family of three (3) entered this country on Thursday (28th May 2020) and they have been quarantined at the Home of Football in Couva.
Chief Medical Officer, Dr. Roshan Parasram, said that the case was a person who returned by air ambulance on Thursday after receiving an exemption from National Security Minister Stuart Young. The patient was abroad for urgent medical attention. The accompanying two (2) relatives tested negative for COVID-19. Just hours ago Prime Minister Keith Rowley announced that Phase 3 will be moved up as there have been not been any new cases in over a month. Phase 4 was also scheduled to be advanced. It is unclear at this time if or how this will affect upcoming phases beyond Phase 3. Minister of Health, Terrence Deyalsingh, said that the new case, since it was imported, will not affect Phase 3 measures to re-open the economy, as was announced earlier today by the Prime Minister. He noted it was a case totally under control and all persons were under quarantine. Minister Deyalsingh said he did not want to announce the new case during the usual 10pm press statement, and instead the Government wanted to be fully transparent. T&T has now recorded a total of 117 positive cases of COVID-19. The last case was recorded 34 days ago, on Sunday 26th April 2020.
