Asymptomatic Cases Rise in Region Six | Guyana News

COVID cases are rising, especially in Region Six, but thankfully, no severe cases have been reported. Minister Dr. Frank Anthony says most infections—particularly in Berbice—are asymptomatic. Recent clusters at GuySuCo Training College, Port Mourant Primary, and Lower Corentyne Secondary involved mild cases, leading to dorm closures and quarantines, but schools are now back to normal. Dr. Anthony urges people to get tested if they’re feeling sick, as symptoms can mimic the flu—except trouble breathing means it’s time to seek help. The health system is prepared, and a new game-changer: Paxlovid, the antiviral pill for mild to moderate cases, is now available.
