While novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19) patients who are housed at isolation facilities in the Moruca sub-district of Region One believe the conditions they are being kept in is delaying their recovery, the Regional Health Officer (RHO) has challenged their accounts and says the number of recoveries thus far tell a different story.
Frustrated with the response they are receiving from the relevant authorities regarding their concerns, several COVID-19 patients being housed at the Santa Rosa Amerindian Hostel told Stabroek News that they were not comfortable with the treatment they were receiving while in isolation and are hoping that the relevant authorities would intervene to address the situation.
One of those patients, who asked not to be named, revealed that she was admitted to the facility on June 18th after it was confirmed that she was infected with the virus. She said that she spent 10 days at the hostel after which she was moved to the Aquero Guest House, where she spent a couple days before she was taken to the “Doctor’s quarters”, where she also spent a number of days.
