The government today announced new COVID 19 emergency measures, to be effective from November 1st.
In the official gazette published today, the government has said that it has initiated a complete overhaul of the current public health response. According to the gazetted order, the government looked at the approach used in other territories, especially the Caribbean and has resolved that a multi-sector and multi-faceted approach has been the most successful model, with an aggressive policy of detection, contact tracing and if positive, isolation.
Some of the measures included in the order are:
Restriction on Social activities.
No Person shall host, attend or visit, A Cinema except for a drive-in cinema, a private party, a banquet, ball or reception, and bar or rum shop.
