SVG Prime Minister Ralph Gonsalves tests positive for COVID-19
Prime Minister Ralph Gonsalves has tested positive for COVID-19.
This was confirmed by the Office of the Prime Minister of Saint Vincent and the Grenadines in a statement issued earlier Thursday.
“As a consequence, he will not be able to leave on Sunday, June 19, 2022, to attend the Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting, which is scheduled to be held in Kigali, Rwanda. The Hon. Prime Minister has no adverse health reaction and is working at home,” the release said.
PM Gonsalves, 75, is vaccinated against COVID-19 and said he had taken five COVID-19 jabs.
In January, eight government legislators tested positive for COVID-19, causing Parliament to suspend the budget debate.
The budget was passed after Prime Minister Gonsalves replaced a senator who had tested positive. He reappointed him after the debate and his recovery.
