Maryam Abdool Richards: “Covid patients still waiting too long to access emergency health care!”

There continues to be a worrying trend of persons waiting too long before they seek help for severe Covid symptoms.

Principal Medical Officer Maryam Abdool Richards says that this has and continues to contribute to the Covid mortality rate.

Speaking at the Ministry of Health’s Covid Media Update this morning she said that ambulances have been bringing in severely ill Covid positive patients and because of this the Accident and Emergency Departments at the main hospitals have expanded their Bio – Containment Units.
