A Department of Education employee in Region Ten who tested positive for the novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19) has been institutionalised after he was seen wandering around Linden shortly after he was placed in home isolation.
In a statement, the Public Relations Department of Region Ten’s Regional Health and Emergency Committee (RHEC) said both the man and his wife were placed at a facility at the Wismar Hospital after it was confirmed that he breached home isolation regulations.
During a meeting, members of the RHEC were informed that the man was seen at the market area and several other public places despite receiving several warnings against leaving his home given his COVID-19 status.
