Army instituting COVID testing requirement for unvaccinated soldiers

Effective from Monday, July 19, all members of the Guyana Defence Force (GDF) who have not received both doses of their COVID-19 vaccine will be required to produce a negative test result every two weeks.

Stabroek News understands that the implementation of the measure was publicised in an order which was issued on Wednesday.

The new measure was imposed even though vaccination for COVID-19 is not mandatory here.
