From these cases, three resulted positive: two on Monday and one on Tuesday this week. Considering, it is a low number compared to that of tests carried out, with chatter going round on the possibility of introducing testing for all arrivals. Just today, MAM and MAPHM issued a statement calling for more restrictions to be introduced, suggesting that all travellers landing in should possess a negative test certificate or be subject to testing upon arrival.
