The national isolation facilities have not reached capacity as yet even though there has been a dramatic increase in COVID-19 patients during the last six weeks.
Speaking at yesterday’s press conference, Ambassador Elizabeth Thompson, spokesperson for the COVID-19 Communications Unit, assured the country that the Government-operated isolation facilities were not full.
“Even though there are increased numbers of cases, we are not yet at capacity in the national isolation facilities,” she said, adding there was also the possibility “to step up or to put into quick operation other medical isolation facilities.”
She also reminded there was a new national policy which allowed for people who were asymptomatic to go to isolation hotels.
