Family member: ministry dropped ball on COVID-19 case

A FAMILY MEMBER of the 66-year-old woman who tested positive for the coronavirus (COVID-19) yesterday is charging that Ministry of Health officials mishandled her case, since this was over three weeks she suspected she had the virus.

The angry woman said several family members had been exposed because they spent the previous 24 days caring for her.

She explained that her relative, who was a Government employee, came home from work on March 27 and the next day, she started to feel sick.

“She called up at Paragon on Sunday and they told her to get ready, that they will pick her up on Monday to be tested. By 9’clock in the morning she was ready and nobody came. She called back again on Tuesday and they told her they were coming. She waited and waited and nobody came.
