Guyana’s first Infectious Disease Hospital, which is currently being constructed at the former Ocean View Hotel at Liliendaal, East Coast Demerara, is expected to be fully operational by next month.
The former hotel was chosen by the government to be transformed and used as a dedicated facility for the treatment, isolation and quarantine of COVID-19 patients and to handle any other infectious disease outbreak in the country in the future.
Deputy Chief Medical Officer, Dr Karen Gordon-Boyle told Stabroek News that the hospital is supposed to be fully operational by August as contractors are almost finished with the construction of the facility.
