PM Dispels “Mischievous” Rumor That He Travelled To New York For COVID-19 Treatment
A post circulating on social media and WhatsApp which suggested that Prime Minister Dr. Keith Rowley contracted the COVID-19 virus and secretly travelled to New York for medical attention has caught the attention of the Prime Minister, who has dismissed the claim as “public mischief”.
See the full statement posted on Dr. Rowley’s page below:
This piece of public mischief originated from the same source of political misconduct which dogged the country for the last five years. It is to be disregarded and dismissed for what it is, misinformation aimed at disrupting the peace,
quiet and good order in our country.
It is clear that some people just will not give up in their attempt to create stresses for the national population.
The fact is that the Prime Minister having tested negative last Friday, remained in home isolation until today and expects to be out early tomorrow morning.
During this period the Prime Minister remained engaged night and day as he worked from his home office.
All members of the Prime Minister’s household are safe and well and none have traveled out of Trinidad recently.
The Prime Minister and his family extend their deepest appreciation and thanks to the very many well wishers and all citizens who sent kind words and prayers for the safety and well-being of the Rowley family.
