Dr Frank Anthony has been tipped to be Minister of Health and to lead the fight against the novel coronavirus under the PPP/C government, even as a new task force is being established to deal with measures to eliminate the spread of the virus here, sources say.

“We are right now looking at how soon we will restructure the response,” Anthony told Stabroek News.

“What we have been doing since  President (Irfaan ) Ali took over, and this has been one of his priorities, is we have been trying to meet with all the key stakeholders to understand what the previous government actions were and to plan from there.  We have held meetings with those stakeholders previously involved to get a proper assessment,” he added.
