There has been no report of a measles outbreak in Region One, says Minister within the Ministry of Public Health Dr. Karen Cummings.
She was at the time responding to questions from members of the media regarding claims made by Regional Chairman Brentnol Ashley that there is an outbreak within the region.
“As you know there was a measles outbreak in Boa Vista, and it came from Venezuela and we know our borders being porous with Brazilians and Venezuelans coming over, but so far we have received no reports of a measles outbreak in Guyana,” the Minister said.
