T&T health officials await test results of H1N1 victim

Health officials in Trinidad and Tobago are still awaiting the results of additional testing done on a woman who tested positive for the H1N1 virus.



The woman remains in isolation at an undisclosed health institution.



The Ministry of Health says the local woman who recently visited several countries affected by the virus first tested negative, then positive for the virus.



The test was being repeated to confirm the results and the outcome was supposed to have been revealed by yesterday afternoon.



However, the ministry has since announced that it will update the nation on that situation later today.



Health Minister Senator Jerry Narace has cut short a trip to the 18th Meeting of the CARICOM Council for Human and Social Development in Jamaica to return home in light of the development.



He’s scheduled to make a statement at a press conference tomorrow.
