CABINET NOTES: <\/strong><\/p>

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

The Minister of Health reported that workers who inhale fumes and impure air are showing an alarming rate of illness.<\/p>\n

The Cabinet, therefore, encourages all workers who are exposed to conditions that are likely to affect their lungs to wear protective masks, and to utilize other personal protective equipment (PPEs) during the times when they are working.<\/p>

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

This urging by the Minister preceded any knowledge of the death and injury suffered by three workers at a cistern in Fitches Creek.<\/p>

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

The Government of Antigua and Barbuda expresses its condolences to the family of the deceased, and pray for a speedy recovery of the two workers who were injured.<\/p>\n
