Prime Minister Gaston Browne has confirmed the country’s first imported case of COVID-19.
The individual arrived from the UK on British Airways on March 10. She went to her mother’s home and then a private medical clinic.
This follows an announcement yesterday that there were two suspected cases being investigated. They were sent to Trinidad for testing and only one came back positive.
Prime Minister Browne says the patient is under isolation and her parent will be tested.
He said other people who came in contact with the patient will also be tested.
According to the Prime Minister,“No doubt you are wondering about the possibility that others may have been affected by the subject within the last two days. Health officials assured me that this possibility is unlikely since the person has been isolated at home for the entire period in the company alone of a parent.”
Browne is calling on residents not to panic.

It is a long established fact that a reader will be distracted by the readable content of a page when looking at its layout. The point of using Lorem Ipsum is that it has a more-or-less normal distribution of letters, as opposed to using ‘Content here, content here’, making it look like readable English. Many desktop publishing packages and web page editors now use Lorem Ipsum as their default model text, and a search for ‘lorem ipsum’ will uncover many web sites still in their infancy.
