From Sunday, I decided to self-isolate myself and my family,\u201d he said during a live interview on state-owned radio on Wednesday morning.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Dr. Darroux said that out of caution, he requested a test and upon receiving the results yesterday (Tuesday 6<sup>th<\/sup>\u00a0October) it turned out to be negative.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0\u201cI really, for the record, do not want to confirm anything this morning, but you would have heard the number of primary contacts that were identified and that by itself is extremely mind-boggling,\u201d he stated.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">He said that one could very well imagine a quarter or 50 percent of these as cases and consider the downhill turn and chaos that could have resulted in the community.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Dr. Darroux said this should serve as a rude awakening that, \u201cwe should never let down our guard.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Meantime, he stressed that if the illegal entry into the country is not curtailed, the Covid-19 cases will increase.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cIf individuals continue to enter the country infected, we are going to see a drastic increase in the number of positive cases, hospitalizations and the worst case scenario is death,\u201d Dr. Darroux stated. \u201cThis is what will eventually happen if we do not take steps to curb the illegal entries to Dominica.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">He thanked his many supporters, family and friends who have reached out to him following the news of the new case.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Dr. Darroux also thanked the primary health team for their hard work thus far.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cI think that the rest of Dominica should be proud and reassured that we do have a health system that is working,\u201d he stated.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Parliamentary Representative for the Petite Savanne Constituency, Dr. Kenneth Darroux, has decided, along with his family, to self-isolate for the rest of the week due &#8220;to contacts with a close contact&#8221; of a positive COVID-19 case in the Bellevue Chopin&#8230;","protected":false},"author":15,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_cbd_carousel_blocks":"[]","footnotes":""},"categories":[265,282,11,17,235,9],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-256939","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-covid-19","category-covid-19-news","category-general","category-health","category-homepage-carousel","category-news"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.7 -
