The Minister of Health, Dr Frank Anthony yesterday said that some persons have been exploiting the pandemic and claiming to have been exposed to COVID-19.
This remark was made during the minister’s daily COVID-19 update where he stated that there are reports of persons who have developed that pattern so as to be able to get time off from work. This, he suggested, should be monitored by employers.
Dr Anthony noted that if persons are genuinely exposed to someone who has been positive, they should be in quarantine and following five days in quarantine they should get a PCR test done to determine their COVID-19 status.
