We are unprepared

Dear Editor,
Guyana has recorded its first death due to the COVID-19 coronavirus and from all appearances, we are scrambling to put systems in place, as we are unprepared.
The advisory from the MoPH not to go to the hospital if experiencing symptoms of this deadly disease, but to call some numbers for a house visit tells how unprepared we are.
This is a national dilemma and requires a national response to stop the escalation as being experienced in other countries.

Sincerely,
Shamshun Mohamed
