Despite displaying a severe symptom of the novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19) and having been in direct contact with relatives of Jermaine Ifill, the man who died days after testing positive for COVID-19, Quincy Braithwaite says that health officials are refusing to test him because he has not displayed 90% of the manifestations of the disease.
Braithwaite was the brother-in-law of the late Ifill.
In a telephone interview with Stabroek News yesterday, Braithwaite revealed that he was once married to Ifill’s sister and while he had no contact with Ifill during the past month, his ex-wife and their two children did.
