Fifty-five-year-old Roger Martindale, the country’s latest novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19) fatality, was being treated for tuberculosis (TB), which he was diagnosed with just months ago.
Martindale, called “Copper,” a father of one of First Avenue, Bartica, in Region Seven, died at the Bartica Hospital on Tuesday morning.
The Ministry of Public Health only acknowledged his death on Friday afternoon, although he was not named.
