Prime Minister Dr Keith Rowley. -
Three days after assuring citizens in his Easter message that the country will overcome the socio-economic challenges triggered by covid19, the Prime Minister has himself contracted the virus and is being treated at an undisclosed site in Tobago.
A statement on Dr Rowley’s Facebook page on Tuesday said he tested positive for covid19 and is in isolation.
It said Rowley, who was in Tobago during the Easter weekend, began experiencing flu-like symptoms on Monday and was subsequently tested for covid19.
Rowley, 72, was due to be given a first dose of the Oxford Astra-Zeneca vaccine at 2.30pm on Tuesday at the Scarborough Health Centre.

On Saturday, the Prime Minister underwent an angiogram and angioplasty at West Shore Medical Hospital after experiencing some “discomfort” on Friday.
The medical history of Dr Rowley, 71, has shown evidence of arterial plaque. The discovery was made in 2016 when he had tests in the US for prostate cancer.
The fact that he had both procedures in one day yesterday indicates that the condition was severe, according to a doctor, who spoke on the condition of anonymity.
