An appeal is being made for Rachel Umanah, a beautiful girl with Down syndrome, to undertake quarantine in her home rather than in a hotel room on her return from Nigeria.

Her brother, Daniel Umanah and father, Patrick, are pleading to the authorities that Rachel, be granted an exemption to undertake her quarantine at her home instead (not to skip quarantine). Her brother and father would still have to spend quarantine in one of the established hotels, as per established procedure.

My question to the authorities: if we made an exception for the national team coming from a dark red zone, can’t we also make an exception for young Rachel, a person with disability, to spend her quarantine at home, rather than in a small hotel room?
