MOH Investigates
The Ministry of Health and Wellness is investigating a Gaborone Laboratory for allegedly issuing patients with covid-19 negative results without testing.
The suspected Medical Laboratory, Optimum Health has come under fire for conniving with visitors who need Covid -19 negative results to avoid incurring 10- day Quarantine costs when entering the country.
The ministry stepped in after whistleblowers reported that many arriving visitors have been using the Lab to avoid Covid-19 laid down protocols.
Concerned citizens accused the Lab of contributing to the rising number of new infections and possibly the spread of the Indian variant, B.1. 617 as some of the patients that used the lab have been identified as visitors from India.
