Permanent Secretary for Health, Dr James Fong says the case of COVID-19 from Makoi is something that they are worried about and is a big problem for them.

He says they do not know how the woman got the virus.

Also, it is unknown who all she came in contact with from the time she contracted the virus to the time she got positive.

Dr Fong says the woman from Makoi just fell ill and produced herself at the screening clinic where a swab was taken.

He says Makoi is a large area and they are doing house to house screening.

Dr Fong says they will not release the name of the specific place in Makoi for now in the interest of sorting their containment plans.
