FOUR ACTIVE COVID-19 CASES FOR SOLOMON ISLANDS

 

The number of positive COVID-19 cases in the country has dropped to four after one of the five COVID-19 patients was tested negative.

These four patients include three returning soccer players from the United Kingdom and one citizen that returned from Indonesia.

Prime Minister Manasseh Sogavare made the announcement in his national address this afternoon.

Mr Sogavare said, nine of the 13 patients who were recently tested negative have been released from the quarantine centers.

The remaining four patients are still in isolation.

The Prime Minister said, the first test results for the more than 4-hundred citizens who arrived last week are all negative.

“I am incredibly pleased to inform you all, the first test results for all the 498 citizens we repatriated over the last week had come back negative.”
