#JamaicaGleaner If you ask Professor Alison M. Nicholson, the outgoing head of the Department of Microbiology at the University of the West Indies (UWI), Mona campus, she would say, �COVID was the worst time of my career!� When the first COVID case surfaced in Jamaica, Nicholson was the lead consultant microbiologist and infection, prevention, and control specialist at the University Hospital of the West Indies, and the first wave of cases for testing went directly to her at the hospital�s lab, which she had only recently been appointed to head. She would be tasked with determining whether the hundreds of Jamaicans who tested had this new disease.
