Saturday, July 25, 2020 Headlines, PNG News

Pandemic Response Dr Paison Dakulala has appealed to everyone to take seriously all health measures against the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) as PNG’s cases increases to 39.

Dr Dakulala who is also acting Health Secretary made the call while announcing seven new cases of COVID-19 confirmed within the last 24 hours in the National Capital District. Out of the seven, four are health workers.

“We cannot afford to play around. The cases are being reported every day now. The new cases were confirmed at midday today and they are now all at the Rita Flynn isolation facility,” said Dr Dakulala.

Of the seven new cases, four are considered mild while only one had difficulties in breathing so was put on oxygen but is now improving. All are Papua New Guineans except for an expatriate employed with a government organisation.

Dr Dakulala said one of the cases is a staff with the National Department of Health so the NDoH headquarters at Aopi Building is going through a decontamination process. The building will be open on Wednesday.

“Rita Flynn has a 72-bed capacity. When we reach the capacity, we may have to consider other possibilities, including home quarantine,’’ said Dr Dakulala...
