Following the admission that some hinterland communities affected by the coronavirus (COVID-19) are not being monitored as they should be, Minister of Health Dr Frank Anthony on Friday explained that the lack of cellular services in those areas is making health responses more difficult.
According to Regional Councillor Marlon Edwards, the two persons who died after contracting COVID-19 in Karasabai were not being monitored by health officials even though they were displaying severe symptoms of the disease. The two patients, Alexander Leo and Arnacette Nicholas, died in Karasabai before receiving their test results despite being tested prior to their deaths.
