BASSETERRE (Thursday 31st December 2020) — A certified taxi operator has called for stricter measures after he unknowingly transported a recovering COVID-19 patient from a hotel to the RLB International Airport on Saturday 26th December — the day after Christmas. Police identified the individual as 33-year-old George Mc Cumisky of Texas, USA, who had recently tested negative twice for COVID-19 but had not been cleared to depart. He was convicted on Wednesday 30th December for breaching his quarantine conditions and fined $4,800. The taxi operator said: “I could have easily been exposed to the virus and taken it home to my family. This was a serious breach of security.”
