Prime Min­is­ter Dr Kei­th Row­ley has an­nounced four new COVID cas­es, one of which re­quires in­ves­ti­ga­tion to de­ter­mine the ori­gin.

Dr Row­ley made the an­nounce­ment while ad­dress­ing a po­lit­i­cal meet­ing in San Fer­nan­do tonight.

“We are still ex­posed to grave dan­ger. It will be a se­ri­ous mis­take to be­lieve that be­cause we have been able to pro­tect our­selves so far, that we are pro­tect­ed and we are now in­vin­ci­ble.

When I left Port-of-Spain this morn­ing on my way to Moru­ga, we were still deal­ing with the news of a cou­ple ad­di­tions to our list of con­fir­ma­tions to COVID. By the time I get home tonight, there are four more – three which came in with traf­fic and one we haven’t iden­ti­fied the lo­ca­tion. Ladies and gen­tle­men we are still in dan­ger,” he said.

Those cas­es were not re­flect­ed in the lat­est up­date from the Min­istry of Health.

The prime min­is­ter slammed Op­po­si­tion Leader Kam­la Per­sad-Bisses­sar for stat­ing that na­tion­als who are un­able to re­turn home due to closed bor­ders are be­ing treat­ed “worse than slav­ery”.
