Cabinet Notes: <\/strong><\/p>

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

The Cabinet affirmed its previous decision governing covid-19 protocols in Schools, restaurants and at the beach.<\/p>\n

All teachers returning to the classroom are to be fully vaccinated.<\/p>

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

All restaurants offering dining-in services are required to have all staff fully vaccinated and all customers fully vaccinated as well.<\/p>

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

They are to request evidence that those persons are vaccinated.<\/p>\n

Picnics and clustering at the beach are strictly prohibited at this time and will likely end when more people are vaccinated, the infection rates decrease further, and herd immunity is achieved.<\/p>

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

Meantime, The Minister reported that the Covid-19 vaccination card has been very well received internationally by those who have presented when travelling abroad.<\/p>\n

The Minister responsible for the production of the ID cards reported that the current level of production is 500 cards per day.<\/p>

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

However, additional equipment and licenses are shortly to be received and the production level will more than double to 1,000 cards per day.<\/p>

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

Within a short period the production will allow for cards on demand.<\/p>\n

The QR codes will be activated shortly.<\/p>\n
