The number of positive coronavirus cases in Trinidad and Tobago rose to 82 on Monday as health authorities warned that the next two weeks could prove pivotal in the fight to prevent the spread of the virus.
Health Minister Terrence Deyalsingh, speaking at the daily news conference of the Ministry of Health, said the four new additional cases from Sunday came as a result of various factors.
He said one of the cases had close contact with someone who tested positive for the virus, while two of the cases were in close contact with a person with a recent travel history.
The fourth case is pending epidemiological investigation.
Mr. Deyalsingh said the Caribbean Public Health Agency (CARPHA) has so far tested 539 samples including the 40 of the 68 people who had recently gone on a cruise.
