The COVID-19 Monitoring Unit will be conducting an investigation at Sheraton Mall after the COVID-19 czar Richard Carter reported that a number of food businesses there were breaching health protocols.
Yesterday evening during a Barbados Labour Party Christ Church East Central branch meeting at Milton Lynch Primary School in Water Street, Carter said he was forced to report eight food establishments at the Sargeant’s Village, Christ Church mall because employees were working and interacting with the public without wearing masks.
“Yesterday [Saturday] I passed through the food court in Sheraton. I passed 15 establishments selling food. Eight of them had persons who were not observing the protocols – either not wearing their masks, and these are people who are serving, or wearing them down below their chin as though their beard or chin is going to catch COVID-19,” he said.
“I asked the head of the COVID-19 Monitoring Unit to pay them a visit and he probably will do so on Monday [today] and remind them, if he does not shut them down.” (SB)
