Minister of Health Terrance Deyalsingh has been admitted to hospital.

A release from the Ministry of Health says Mr. Deyalsingh was admitted to the Eric Williams Medical Sciences Complex last night after experiencing flu like symptoms.

It says a diagnosis of COVID-19 has been ruled out.

The release further states that the Minister was then transferred to the Arima General Hospital for further management and observation.

He remains in a stable condition. 

Also, Trade and Industry Minister Paula Gopee-Scoon is at home in isolation after testing positive for COVID-19.

At a media conference yesterday the Prime Minister apologised for her absence during talks with the visiting Jamaican Prime Minister Andrew Holness.

In July, Dr. Rowley caught the virus for a second time, and on both occasions worked while in isolation.
