Head of the Covid Monitoring Unit, Ronald Chapman, yesterday reported that some small businesses in and around The City were closed last night based on intelligence from the public.
Members of the unit visited the area near the Fairchild Street terminal known as “Vincy Town”, then moved to nearby Nelson Street, where a number of people had gathered and were eating, drinking and liming.
The Deputy Chief Environmental Health Officer said many of the patrons gathered were not wearing masks and were in close proximity to each other.
Chapman said his unit had received several calls from Barbadians reporting breaches of the country’s public health protocols in recent days, but special mention had been made of those two areas. (BA)
