Dr Hinds compares Covid crisis to raging fire, as Dr Rowley announces new restrictions
Principal medical officer Dr Maryam Abdool-Richards today pointed to the stark data from Trinidad and Tobago’s current grapple with the novel coronavirus, as the government announced its third set of restrictions since the Easter weekend.
Two hospitals, the Couva Hospital and Augustus Long Facility, were at 98% and 100% capacity respectively, while Trinidad hospitals were at 70% capacity. Twice within the last eight days, she said, the Ministry of Health’s ambulance system was overwhelmed by the requests from infected persons who needed to be hospitalised.
