Head of Health Protection, Dr. Aalisha Sahukhan says they are expecting more positive cases of COVID-19 in the coming days because of the 14 days incubation period.

Doctor Sahukhan says they have tested 69 contacts of first cases and 300 plus people who are secondary contacts and the results were negative in the first test.

She says they know the virus can take up to 14 days to show up in a test or even cause symptoms and this why they feel there will be more cases.

Doctor Sahukhan says they have plans ready for this.
