The Georgetown Magistrates’ Court.
Kaieteur News – A police officer attached to the Georgetown Magistrates’ Court has tested positive for the novel Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19). As a result, concerns were raised and other officers have since been tested for the virus.
Kaieteur News was told that the police sergeant attached to one of the courts is in a critical condition at the COVID-19 hospital.
Guyana recently recorded its 200th COVID-19 related deaths. While speaking to officers who work at the Georgetown Magistrates’ Court, they shared that they are concerned about their health since not everyone at the court was tested.
One officer stated that only the officers who worked in the courtroom with the police sergeant that tested positive were tested.
He believes that the entire courtroom should be fumigated and that everyone should be tested. Others are also asking for the court’s operations to be shut down to give officers the opportunity to be quarantined.
Kaieteur News was also told that the police sergeant tested positive for the virus sometime between February 22, 2021 and February 25, 2021.
The courtroom that the police sergeant works in has since halted all of its operations, but the other courtrooms are still fully operational.
