Ruling among other things that the law leans in favour of limiting fundamental rights in the interest of public health to detect, prevent, contain and eliminate infectious diseases, the Full Court on Tuesday dismissed an appeal filed by Kennard Gobin, who challenged the detention of his son at a government quarantine facility.
Gobin’s attorney, Sanjeev Datadin, has said that though Khalil Gobin is expected to be released today, the matter will still be appealed since the issues complained of still have utility.
Khalil is one of the Guyanese who were detained at a government quarantine facility after returning on a special flight which arrived in Guyana on March 25th from Barbados, seven days after all international ports were closed.
