Minister Deyalsingh said the Regional Health Authorities have also been doing their part to tackle the issue.
The Health Minister also complimented medical personnel for their dedication during the Covid-19 pandemic.
Minister Deyalsingh was asked by the Opposition Member of Parliament for Cumuto / Manzanilla if the health care workers may be considered for some form of monetary remuneration or even compensatory time off.
