Prime Minister Gaston Browne says he had to remind his own father about the importance of quarantine following reports that he was seen in a vehicle.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

\u201cMy father recently returned from New York, and I was told \u2014 he said it\u2019s not true \u2014 he was in a vehicle,\u201d the Prime Minister shared on\u00a0Pointe FM.<\/p>\n

The country’s leader said he visited his father at his home in order to drive his point home.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>
\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

\u201cI said, \u2018Look, let me tell you something, you need to stay at home.\u2019 He has since done his COVID test and so on. But I was told he was out. It seems to have been false information.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

\u201cI went to his home to look for him and told him, \u2018Let me tell you something, you just came back here. The law is that you have to stay at home and quarantine for 14 days.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re begging, we\u2019re pleading that our people must be personally responsible and to be vigilant,\u201d he said.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

\u201cPeople are beating up on the police and saying that they\u2019re not enforcing the regulations and the protocols \u2026 I am not making any excuses for law enforcement and I expect them, where they see violations, to enforce the law, but the police can\u2019t do it alone. We must hold people personally responsible.\u201d<\/p>\n
