President Paula-Mae Weekes has tested negative for covid19, according to a statement from the Office of the President.

An update on Tuesday morning said all the buildings on the President’s House grounds were sanitised overnight after the president's aide-de-camp tested positive for the virus over the weekend.

Cheryl Lala, the president's communications adviser, said on Monday that several members of staff were also tested for the virus and are awaiting results.

Weekes has been self-quarantining since then at her Petit Valley home.
