Two more fa­cil­i­ties would be added to the par­al­lel health­care sys­tem by Fri­day. Min­istry of Health Prin­ci­pal Med­ical Of­fi­cer In­sti­tu­tions Dr Maryam Ab­dool-Richards said at a vir­tu­al press con­fer­ence. The new fa­cil­i­ties would in­crease the sys­tem’s ca­pac­i­ty from 1,551 beds to 1,651. One would be at the Kapok ho­tel for repa­tri­at­ed na­tion­als and has a bed ca­pac­i­ty of 90. The oth­er fa­cil­i­ty be­ing brought on-board would be a cor­rec­tion­al fa­cil­i­ty in To­ba­go with a bed ca­pac­i­ty of 10. Dr Ab­dool-Richards said the sys­tem is healthy enough to han­dle any surge in COVID-19 cas­es.
