Fewer persons coming forward to get COVID-19 tests – Anthony

Dr Frank Anthony

Minister of Health Dr Frank Anthony has suggested that the drop in the administration of COVID-19 tests is due to persons not coming forward.

“It’s just that a lot of people not coming forward to be tested,” Anthony said during his daily COVID-19 update yesterday before mentioning that a variety of tests are available in the public health care system.

Meanwhile, Anthony related that in January the Health Ministry discovered that a lot of persons were abusing the availability of PCR tests in order to access results for international travel. As such, he reminded persons that a PCR test for international travel should be done within the private sector.
