It has been one year since the first set of persons were treated at the country’s Infectious Diseases Hospital at Liliendaal and the Minister of Health has stated that expansion plans may have to be put in place if Guyana’s COVID-19 cases continue to rise.
This was disclosed by Dr Frank Anthony yesterday during a press conference which was held at the facility at Liliendaal, East Coast Demerara, which was converted last year from a hotel to a hospital.
The minister during the press conference commended the staff of the facility and those from the Georgetown Public Hospital and his ministry who all worked hard to get the facility to where it is currently, as over 2,000 persons have been treated there since it has been operationalised.
