Minister of Health Dr Frank Anthony yesterday refuted claims made by APNU+AFC as it relates to COVID-19 results of opposition parliamentarians Christopher Jones and Sherod Duncan, following their appearance at the first sitting of the twelfth parliament.
Following Tuesday’s sitting of parliament, information was released which indicated that opposition Member of Parliament Christopher Jones had attended the sitting while he was expected to be in isolation after testing positive for the novel coronavirus recently.
A press release from the APNU+AFC on Tuesday evening stated that the release of that information which was made through another news agency was “highly irresponsible”. The release stated that Jones’ positive test was done more than fifteen days ago and he underwent the required period of self-isolation. “He therefore attended parliament today (Tuesday) confident that he was no threat to persons” the release declared.
