“Persons who are quarantined at GBR in relation to MV Papa Mau covid-19 incident were released following testing protocols and quarantine guidelines.
“Thank you so much to frontlines who maintaining and complying with measures that are put in place,” McNeil said.
She adds, at the moment only four people at the quarantine. Two pilots at the King Solomon Hotel. One person at SA quarantine station and one foreign ship crew member at Pacific Casino – this person needed hospitalisation so after getting medical treatment the person is now serving mandatory quarantine period. He will return today if his vessel comes.
McNeil said for National Referral Hospital Isolation facilities there is no patient there
“At the moment we have no patients at the NRH, Isolation facilities we still very much zero indicators at the moment. Zero patients, zero community transmission and zero detected cases at the quarantine stations.
