Public Cautioned Against Breaching Social Gathering Restrictions<\/p>

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

 <\/p>\n

The Police are again cautioning the general public to desist from breaching the Covid -19 Protocols on Social Gathering and to adhere to the restrictions governing the closure of public beaches for the upcoming Easter Holiday Weekend.<\/p>

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

 <\/p>

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

The public is further reminded that no food, no music, no liming and loitering; or any form of gathering or picnicking will be allowed to take place on any of the beaches. The mandatory wearing of face masks in public places and the social distancing protocols must continue to be adhered to.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>

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

Likewise, no more than five people are allowed to gather at any place at any given time, whilst also observing the social distancing guidelines.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>

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

Property owners are also cautioned against using their properties to have social events and private functions. Anyone failing to comply with these restrictions will be penalized.<\/p>

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

 <\/p>\n

The Police, along with the Antigua and Barbuda Defence Force Coast Guard, will be fully utilizing all available resources to effectively carry out regular patrols on all beaches in Antigua and Barbuda; both on land and the sea.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

ALL beaches will be CLOSED from 7:00 p.m Thursday, April 1 to 5:00 a.m Tuesday, April 6, 2021.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The Police Administration encourages all to continue following the COVID-19 regulations and wishes everyone a safe and incident-free holiday weekend.<\/p>\n
