Gopee-Scoon contracts covid19

TRADE and Industry Minister Paula Gopee-Scoon is at home in isolation after testing positive for covid19.

At a media conference on Monday at the Diplomatic Centre, St Ann’s, the Prime Minister apologised for her absence. The media conference was to announce the signing of a memorandum of understanding between Jamaica and TT on trade and settling trade disagreements.

In July Dr Rowley caught the virus for a second time, and on both occasions worked while in isolation. Neither Rowley nor the Trade Ministry said whether Gopee-Scoon will do likewise.
