A 54-year-old citizen who recently returned to the island from the United Kingdom is the first Covid-19 case reported in Dominica. Minister of Health Irving McIntyre confirmed the case on Sunday while noting that aggressive contact tracing will begin. The Dominican national was placed under home quarantine from the time of arrival and has been under surveillance by a medical team. “In accordance with public health practices, the ministry of health has initiated aggressive contact tracing to identify every individual who may have come into close contact with this patient.” “All individuals identified during contact tracing will be tested and placed under quarantine,” McIntyre said.
