TT covid19 total now at 7

 TT now has seven confirmed cases of the coronavirus.

The Ministry of Health reported this in a media release issued shortly before 11 pm.

 The release said that like the previous six cases, the latest one was imported.

No details of the gender, age or whereabouts of the latest patient were given.

The release did not say how many tests have been done on suspected covid19 cases, as did previous releases.
On Monday the ministry announced that a 26-year-old man was the fifth confirmed case. He is a leading athlete.

Also on Monday, at the post-Cabinet briefing, the previous four patients were said to be doing well, although one was still in critical condition. There have been no deaths among the seven TT cases confirmed to date.
