Three travellers presented fake COVID-19 test results

The Ministry of Health (MoH) yesterday confirmed that a few persons have been forging COVID-19 test results in order to travel.

MoH spokesman Daniel Singh while confirming that persons have been forging their test results assured that such acts are minimal and that there are systems in place at the airports to prevent recurrences.

He revealed that three travellers — one outgoing and two incoming — presented forged COVID-19 Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) test results to port health staff at the airport. He related that when those incoming passengers presented their test results to port health staff, the documents were carefully scrutinised and assessed and when it was discovered that the results were faked, they were told to subject themselves to testing at the airport.
