What the GOJ should have done in good sportmanship is treat the team at CRH where the level of care is much higher than can be expected in Haiti. </div></div>

Magix, at least one of the team members who had been admitted to CRH, checked himself out of the hospital before the treatment was completed. Others at the hotel refused to have their blood drawn for diagnostic purposes.

I support the decision of Jamaica's MOH. </div></div>

As usual, the full story was not made available so could only draw conclusion based on what I read.
If indeed that was the case I agree with disqualifying the team and sending them back. (Although on a plane and not a raft to Afghanistan, especially that being a landlocked country)

The fault lies with the Haiti football association for allowing the yutes to travel in their state.
What's really sad here is that there are U17 kids and the grownups should have really delt with the situation better.

Malaria is not a contagious disease. There was no risk to the general population in Jamaica. Since there is no law that generally prohibits sick people from traveling, usually health officials in that country can take actions to isolate people with serious illness. As a health care provider and a compassionate human being, this incident highlights another example of not putting people's health and well being first. Those players should have access to medical care, and also medical clearance to play. Malaria can affect vital organs in your body. Those who are responsible for the players, should make their health and well being top priority.

People, don't forget dat tourism is Jamaica's number one income earner. If people now fear to come there for perceived health reasons, then what?
Having a serious outbreak is far more serious to the Jamaican economy and its people than offending a few people from a particular country. They also seem to forget that on more than one occasion, Jamaica was one of the countries that was accepting Haitians when others were turning them away?

We also have to remember that you can't catch malaria from other people and that a singular case poses no threat to a country.

As a host of an international sports tournament, Jamaica is responsible for ensuring that players are healthy, and since they are all minors should not be allowed to refuse medical care as the case was.

You are right.
Do All the nonsense i wasted learning is a waste if time And money.

<span style="font-weight: bold"> contagious diseases always start with a single case.
That is the object of investigation is patient zero.

Meaning the first case.
You need That one case being bitten by those. Mosquitoes then the mosquitoes will do the transmission. </span>
Oh well.
So the child chose to leave the hospital And find his way yo the team without the guardian's knowledge?
Or is it that They came without guardians?
The locals That font even speak their language should be shouldered with That responsibility.
It is too much to isolate the team but not enough to allow the patient to leave hospital.
I see what you mean.
