Chief Med­ical Of­fi­cer (CMO) Dr Roshan Paras­ram this morn­ing said that ac­cord­ing to the World Health Or­gan­i­sa­tion (WHO) rec­om­men­da­tions, any­one who has test­ed pos­i­tive for COVID-19 must wait six months be­fore get­ting the vac­cine.

His com­ment came short­ly af­ter the Of­fice of the Prime Min­is­ter an­nounced that Prime Min­is­ter Dr Kei­th Row­ley has test­ed pos­i­tive for COVID-19. Dr Row­ley was set to get his As­traZeneca shot to­day but with the an­nounce­ment that he has test­ed pos­i­tive for the coro­n­avirus, he will not be el­i­gi­ble for his shots un­til Oc­to­ber.

Mean­while, the rest of the Cab­i­net is not be­ing test­ed or part of the con­tact trac­ing. Ac­cord­ing to At­tor­ney Gen­er­al Faris Al-Rawi, they have not had any "in-per­son Cab­i­net" meet­ings in some time.
