Strict COVID-19 protocols will be in place at all polling stations on November 11 for the by-election in the constituency of St George North.

Supervisor of Elections, Angela Taylor, indicated that the election management team met with the Head of the COVID-19 Monitoring Unit to be fully apprised of the protocols. Additionally, members of the Monitoring Unit trained election workers to ensure proficiency in doing temperature checks and compliance with the other protocols.

On polling day, wearing of masks, temperature checks, hand sanitising and social distancing will be enforced to ensure the safety of electors and election workers.

The public is therefore asked to follow the instructions of the health and safety election workers at the polling stations. (BGIS)
