Coronavirus shows little mercy to Medicare as 10 people who work at clinic test positive for the disease

Ten out of 14 people who newly tested positive for coronavirus are all employees of Medicare Clinic, according to the ministry of health on Wednesday.

Fourteen new people tested positive for the disease bringing to 146 the total number of COVID-19 cases ever confirmed in the country.

“Over 85% of the new cases have had no recent travel history and no known contact with an imported COVID-19 case – this is indicative of the existence of pervasive community transmission,” the health ministry said.
