The Police have observed since the relaxation of the curfew hours from 6am to 6pm daily, an increased number of persons and vehicles are seen on the streets without a proper reason.
Residents are reminded that the mandatory 24hrs curfew lockdown is still in effect, and only essential workers and persons with valid curfew passes; or where it becomes absolutely necessary for anyone to acquire essential items or emergency services will they be permitted out of their homes.
Persons loitering around public places, sightseeing or going to the beach is strictly prohibited. Residents are also urged to be reasonable and considerate with their use of time in order to reduce long lines and waiting hours, when conducting business at shops, supermarkets and pharmacies.
Social distancing and all other health protocols must always be observed. Failure to conform to the curfew restrictions is an offence and may lead to an arrest.

If this covid 19 is reduced by sun why restrict people from going to the beach, the beach is one of or natural resources to fight this virus
No, that is false, covid-19 is not “reduced by sun”. It has been proposed that UV light might reduce the amount of time that the novel coronavirus (which causes the disease covid-19) can survive on hard surfaces…but that is not at all the same thing! The beach is not a natural resource to fight this virus. Sunlight does not treat or reduce covid-19.
Absolute rubbish. your white man made up diseases wont FOOL or destroy us anymore. We see true all the lies over the years that your race has told. This false flag will not keep us down. Our natural remedies are the only remedies that work, keep your side effect death drugs, vaccine and sorcerer advice………..we good
Beach wont kill everything, you’re stuck on the fact that he’s white and thats racist, whether or not the disease was man made.. I would like you to get in contact with a confirmed Covid-19 patient and go to the beach and see if you don’t catch it. The beach is good but it doesn’t protect you from something thats targeting your respiratory. Any disease the “white man” makes is gonna get you one way or the other because we wont stay out the “white man” country or stop buying the “white man” produced food.
The virus will take people like you with your though process out 1st. Learn to spell then educate yourself. This is a scientific fact that sunlight does not kill it but reduces it. If you’re so much against science then throw away the device you are using to comment under this post as it was also created by scientists. And stop pulling the race card.
ahahahaha…I hope you have no decision making power over anyone
..an absolute fool
@ CRYING IN THE WILDERNESS:
Your discourse is dangerous.Beaches and sunlight would not kill this coronavirus, Covid19.The Virus is not a white man disease.It began in Wuhan,China.It is the Wuhan China Coronavirus.Commonly known to all as Covid19.
The sun is very health for the protection of Covid19! It gives you vitamin D which helps with your resistance! The virus does not live well in heat or when in contact with salt water which is a natural disinfectant! The beach may not cure corona but it is very health to the body! Once social distancing is observe the beach is very good for the body!
Boss….the corona virus in in the body…how does the beach and sun help that situation…and explain how you think we will be able to control people on the beach and for God sake where did you get that salt water has an impact on the virus…murder…
👍🏽
Aloes… epsom salt/sea salt…tumeric…oregano oil…black seed oil…onion…organic charcoal…sea moss…Guinea hen weed…maiden blush…tamadind…mango…lime/lemon/orange.
All can be used, to rid the upper thoracic cavity, of this virus.
I know…
Open the damn beaches. The wave actions, massaging the body, the bare feet on the sand, breathing the salty air, with a couple of gulps of the sea water is needed. This is Our wholesome holistic remedies…
BTW…don’t forget, we used lime to cure your scurry!
Nuff said…
again n again just monitor the amount of ppl on the beach sigh
Because everyone will want to be at the beach and it will spread even more. . .duuh
What did they expect?
This is what I feared, most persons would become complacent, and we have the potential for spreading in the community.
All I’m begging one and all is to think clearly, be safe, and think of the safety of others.
Not surprised I’d like to enjoy the beach but if they allow it pple will over to they gonna wanna have parties at the beach etc so….
6-6 is a normal day in Antigua. What curfew are they talking about?
Couldn’t agree more! I don’t see the purpose of this curfew at all. 7 to 12 kept persons off the street more.
I would not be surprised if restrictions come back in hard again. I am sure that everyone in that KFC queue is not an essential worker trying to get lunch.
The border for this curfew runs out between Paradise view and Coolidge. Please carry on as normal. Please race car and hold fete as you like.
The curfew is from 6:00 PM to 6:00 AM. From 6 AM to 6 PM persons have the rights to visit all businesses that are opened to the public.How the heck is the Police going to tell persons to stay home during those hours.That in itself is utter nonsense.Do the Police make the Laws in Antigua?I say hell,NO.Their responsibilities are to enforce the Laws of the Land and nothing else.Yes,the curfew is for 24 hours continuous.Like I said earlier in my discourse.You have 6 AM to 6 PM to do things without hassles from the Police.After that time its on you if caught outside,period.Have $5,000 to pay and or 3 months in 1735.That is a choice you would have to make.
You gave 6-6 for ESSENTIAL purposes
@Common Sense: Tell me what the heck are Essential purposes from 6 am to 6 pm.If I am out between 6 am and 6 pm.Who the heck would know why I am out except me.The Police cannot asked me any darn questions.They would be out of place to do so.This is what would when you put things into place without proper thinking and planning.Those politicians are poor planners.When they are putting thinks out into the public.There must be more specificity.And not persons making up their own interpretations as they go.
Boss functional literacy. The country is still in a State of Emergency with a limited stay at home curfew. The right to leave your house exists as part of a public health regulation which allows you to leave for specified purposes. The reasonable man would conclude that when there is a highly contagious virus they would go and risk infection or spread to do only that which is necessary…my God put some sense in they head
Exactly my point if they want this to be controlled the country was suppose to remain under the previous lock down….people can jus aay they are going to pay their bill when they are jus going to lyme as usual…just look at the ridiculous line at KFC like really…if u are an essential worker and u are on a 20 mins break how the hell u suppose to get through..this while thing is nonsense
How is kfc an essential service, again? Can the health authorities please tell me why kfc is essential. . . Central board of HEALTH I’m talking to you.
Look never again can the diet advisor come to tell me on the television or radio about bread being bad for me when both accessing bread and kfc and chinese food is essential.
Curfew ease will naturally result in masks and social distancing ease.
Medical Benefits and Social Security has serious money problem and they have many preventative programs. Now
Will KFC add to better health? No but KFC generates significant taxes so automatically base on the government’s financial position KFC is essential. Now
Will the sea add to good health? Definitely but the sea does not generate any taxes so automatically it can remain closed because it does not add to the government’s fiscal calamity ……
Thank you, it all makes sense now. We will all surely, almost instantly, kill ourselves eating spicy greasy chicken so mbs and social security can then spend less on what their mandates prescribe.
Lovely. Absolutely enlightening.
Dear God, I pray for our leaders. This is certainly the hardest time ever. The opposition will see all the faults but they are mirror images. The people will be critical while being selfish. Please guide our leaders’ steps. May they humble themselves and all look to you. Like with Saul, let Your will be done. Sincerely.
All who ah cuss cause the people and them buy them kfc ah wha bex you vex cause u cant buy?? Mek the people and them.lone ah fu them money
The only people who should be worried about COVID19 are those with compromised immune systems and those of you, who have chosen to get the flu shot in recent times. Everyone else can relax. Flu figures from 2017 / 2018 shows similar numbers of people who died from the flu and who are dying from COVID19. In point of fact, you are more likely to catch the flu before you catch COVID19. These are hardly the numbers needed to shut down entire economies, muchless impose the type of Curfew that is every lawman’s wet dream come true. Let’s put this silly nonsense behind us, and get back to normal, while…we inspect every single diplomatic pouch for the Chinese and their known diplomatic associates, lest we have an unexpected resurgence.
It’s against international rules to open diplomatic pouches.
👍🏽 Well said!
