J’can Cabinet minister, Juliet Cuthbert, has COVID-19

Jamaican politician Juliet Cuthbert-Flynn has confirmed she has the coronavirus.

Cuthbert-Flynn, who is a Member of

Parliament and the nation’s Jamaica’s Minister of State in the Ministry of

Health and Wellness, shared the news via her Twitter account today (March 15).

The two-term parliamentarian continued, “My

fellow Jamaicans let us try and continue to do our best to keep each other

safe. To our HCW (healthcare workers) you are our champions. Spanish Town

hospital staff kudos to you all for the care I received. I observed your

gentleness with the patients.

“And left knowing they’re in good hands.

Let’s navigate these times with more understanding, and empathy for all. To my

constituents I’m doing well and the work continues in my physical absence. #WestRuraladibessRural let’sdo this together.”

She did not provide any information on her symptoms

or how long she has been ailing with the virus which has infected more than

30,000 Jamaicans.
