Shark attack victim, British national Peter Smith, will leave Tobago within the next 24 hours.
In a update sent to the media, Secretary of the Division of Health Wellness and Social Protection, Dr Faith B.Yisrael confirmed:
"Arrangements have been made for Mr. Peter Smith to be airlifted out of Tobago to Miami within the next 24 hours."
Smith remains critical but stable at the Scarbrough General Hospital.
