Saying that the PPP/C government’s management of the COVID-19 pandemic is costing lives, the opposition coalition APNU+AFC is maintaining that its rigid measures and enforcement kept the number of cases and deaths low while it was in government.
This was stated by opposition Member of Parliament (MP) Tabitha Sarabo-Halley during a virtual press conference on Wednesday as she stressed that the idea that not enough testing was done while APNU+AFC was in government is false.
Sarabo-Halley told the virtual conference that the former administration took a different approach as it focused on having symptomatic persons tested and treated as quickly as possible and ensuring that asymptomatic persons observed all the relevant measures so as to not spread the virus. “What we were focusing on were persons who showed symptoms and ensured that they got the treatment that was required,” Sarabo-Halley said.
