PORT OF SPAIN, Trinidad– Health Minister Terrence Deyalsingh is reportedly stable after he was hospitalized on Monday night with flu-like symptoms.

A statement from the Ministry of Health said that Deyalsingh had first been taken to the Eric Williams Medical Sciences Complex, along the east-west corridor, before being transferred to the Arima General Hospital, east of here, for further management and observation.

It said that a diagnosis of coronavirus (COVID-19) had been ruled out, but he is said to be in a stable condition.

The hospitalization of the health ministers comes less than 24 hours after Prime Minister Dr. Keith Rowley told reporters that the Trade and Industry Minister, Paula Gopee-Scoon, was recuperating at home after testing positive for COVID-19.

Rowley had on Monday apologized for the absence of the minister during talks between a delegation headed by Jamaica Prime Minister Andrew Holness at the Diplomatic Centre at St. Anns, on the outskirts of the capital, where the two countries signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) on trade and settling trade disagreements.

In July, Prime Minister Rowley tested positive for a second time for the COVID-19 virus that has killed 4, 134 and infected 179, 154 others since March 2020
