The shop proprietor taken to the Queen Elizabeth Hospital after he fell ill while on remand at HMP Dodds for a breach of COVID-19 protocols was granted $5 000 bail by the High Court yesterday.

Two of his fellow Guyanese nationals, also shop proprietors, who were remanded after flouting protocol rules as well, received bail by the High Court.

Hamenauth Sarendranauth, who has uncontrollable diabetes, was released on $5 000 bail with a surety. He is scheduled to make his second District “A” Magistrates’ Court appearance on March 16.

Sarendranauth, 48, of Tudor Street, The City, had pleaded guilty to contravening Paragraph (3), Subparagraph (1) of the Emergency Management COVID-19 Protocols Special Curfew No. 3 Directive 2021, in that there being a directive requiring every person to observe such social distancing and associated protocols in the interest of public health imposed from February 3 to 17, being the owner of a non-essential service, Caribbean Heat, not permitted in the directive, he failed to remain closed on February 14 and again on February 26.
