Breaking News! Guyana records first coronavirus-related death
Even as elections tension continues to grip the land, the local Ministry of Public Health has confirmed Guyana’s first case of the novel coronarvirus 
[COVID-19]. The victim, a woman said to be in her 50s and suffering from underlying conditions including diabetes and hypotension, was pronounced dead at the Georgetown Public Hospital [GPHC].
Reports suggest that the woman travelled from New York, United States before March 9, 2020. The case is moreover being viewed as an imported case.
