The Regional Democratic Council (RDC) of Region Ten is calling on the Ministry of Social Protection to provide counselling for families affected by COVID-19 stigma.
In a telephone interview, RDC Information Officer Rawle Nelson said that the RDC has written letters to the Ministry of Social Protection to get counselling for families who have complained about being stigmatised for having been tested for COVID-19.
However, these letters have been unanswered.
Recently, a Block 22, Wismar, Linden hairdresser told this newspaper that she and her family were being shunned by their neighbours.
