DEAR EDITOR<\/strong>:<\/p>

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

Ministry of Tourism, wah kinda cartoon things yall on? You made guests and the public think, Wow! wen u mentioned hotels being bio secure. So the guest would more think to roam free n party at the hotels right?<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

So an event happened at a hotel, so it very simple to control in my opinion,\u00a0 if the Ministry of Health was really imposing those restrictions even testing one or two persons depending on the size of the group before heading\u00a0 to their hotel, I would think that we would have a better control on covid entering our local population!!!<\/p>

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

Back to said event \u2013 now the hotel could have implemented that the staff dealing with said guest stay on property\u00a0 (if possible) n have no contact with other staff and are tested\u00a0 before leaving the hotel to go back home (which would be reasonable).<\/p>

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

Ministry\u00a0 of Tourism\u00a0 y\u2019all always looking into something, look into this \u2013 guest nah hab no way to go, which guest is gonna want to have take out? Wen they came to Antigua to experience the culture\u00a0 etc?<\/p>\n

Loss of employment for many persons, revenues for the government, thought u guys said we have to live with COVID?\u00a0\u00a0Strike a balance.<\/p>

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

Now u being unemployed\u00a0 for this time period APUA notices about disconnections!!!<\/p>\n

PM \u2013 for this time period APUA shouldn\u2019t be doing any disconnections, come on mannn!!!!!!<\/p>

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

Ministry\u00a0 of health \u2013 free testing for government employees, so what about the private sector?<\/p>

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

Make it reasonable , since we are on reduced hours, 25 to 50 ec for a rapid test wouldn\u2019t be so bad wouldn\u2019t it?<\/p>\n

Police \u2013 smh\u00a0 how much of u guys tested positive that ur case is linked to on the job n not from a private event such as u working\u00a0 security\u00a0 n then passing the said virus to family\u00a0 and or coworkers?<\/p>\n

Nurses and doctors\u00a0 \u2013 tip my hat to u folks.<\/p>\n

Blame \u2013 the measures\u00a0 are there for us to follow\u00a0 but if the said people aren\u2019t upholding the said protocols why would other people\u00a0 follow them? \u2014\u00a0My 2 cents \u2013 N case in Point<\/strong><\/p>\n
