Going to get tested at the test station in Las Vegas tomorrow morning and sure he came out negative.
From his son's apartment, he says: "I went to the United States to visit my son.
Yesterday at 04:00 I woke up from a phone call from the branch manager informing me that the Ministry of Health had informed him that he was the driver who was on the bus of the verified foreign worker.
It turns out that the Ministry of Health made a mistake on the bus and only after they made the mistake did they realize that I was the driver, a week after I was exposed. "
"No one from the Ministry of Health called, they just sent a message and asked me to go get tested and go into isolation until a negative result is obtained."
He says he feels very well and has no symptoms.
"I'm in my son's apartment and not in a hotel so I'm kind of isolated. Tomorrow morning, US time, I'll do a check that I'm sure will be negative.
They did not even ask me for a special test to locate the variant, but to perform a standard test. "
