RESIDENTS OF Hanover are taking to social media and other platforms to chastise the Government for crediting the parish with one case of COVID-19 after a male cruise ship worker from the Adventure of the Seas, which docked in Falmouth, Trelawny, last week, tested positive for the virus.
Having prided themselves on being the only parish with no cases for more than two months, stakeholders in Hanover have criticised the attribution system as flawed.
“I don’t know how they go about doing their assessment of COVID-19, but whatever method they use, in this case, it is incorrect,” said Lucea Mayor Sheridan Samuels, who is also the chairman of the Hanover Municipal Corporation.
“I have also heard that the patient his from the parish of Portland and only resides in Hanover with a girlfriend,” Singh said.
Dr David Stair, custos of Hanover, is also displeased that the parish no longer has its enviable record.
