Teacher with COVID-19 concerned over conditions at Moruca isolation facility

A teacher who has been in isolation for almost three weeks at a COVID-19 facility in the Moruca sub-district in Region One, is concerned that hygiene standards at the facility may not be conducive for recovery.

The teacher, who is currently sharing a room with another teacher at a COVID-19 isolation facility, explained that on Wednesday, July 1st, she and her roommate were moved from the Amerindian guesthouse at Kumaka to another facility.

The woman, who asked not to be named, said that upon entering her room, she observed that it was unkempt and then told the nurses at the facility that she would be leaving if the conditions were not better maintained for persons who are “sick”. The woman said that at the other facility, she had complained about the unhygienic living space and once again she was complaining to the doctors, nurses and other health officials.
