Two of the COVID-19 screening tents set up at the various entrances of the Georgetown Public Hospital (GPH) have been converted into triage centres as part of ongoing efforts to protect both patients and staff.
Director of Medical and Professional Services Dr. Fawcett Jeffrey revealed during an interview with the Department of Public Information (DPI) on Friday that the screening points initially located at Lamaha Street, East Street, New Market (North), New Market (South) and Middle Street were meant to be temporary. However, as the months passed and it became clear that the COVID-19 was not going away, the GPH decided to construct permanent structures to make not only screening possible but triaging as well.
