Despite seeing a downward trend in COVID-19 infections, hospitalisations and deaths, Minister of Health Dr Frank Anthony on Wednesday said Guyana will continue to take guidance from the World Health Organization (WHO) in its approach to the pandemic.
Anthony made the position known during his daily COVID-19 update after being asked about United States President Joe Biden’s recent declaration that the pandemic is over in the United States.
The minister said he would not describe Biden’s declaration as accurate given that the United States is continuing to record some 400 deaths daily due to COVID-19 and he also noted that there are about 1,600 deaths being recorded on a daily basis worldwide.
