Summary from GIS – Government Information Service of Grenada Covid-19 Press Conference held on 18 April 2020 at 4 pm.
Consideration should be given for persons to collect their barrels. Can be done in stages or with limited number of persons at any given time. Please allow for wasteage or spoilage of goods.
While I am happy that our needs were considered and adhered to in this confused and perilous period, I am asking the government of Grenada to allow visitors like myself the opportunity to return to the States and those of other countries abroad.
Though I agree with the strict curfew and commend the government for its efforts and excellent job to eliminate the threat of this virus, I am a visitor who in spite of the situation would like to return home to my family.
I employ the government and those in authority to consider this my petition as I’m certainly not the only person who is eager to return home. There must be measures one can put in place to insure our return to our homes abroad…
Concern Visitor…
Why are you still on the island? There were plenty of opportunities for you to leave in March, why do you expect anyone to make special arrangements for you?
Testing, testing, testing. Without universal testing. There will be no trust in one another and no security.
Good people of Grenada can you tell me where in the above list is Tyre/Auto repairs .
I am fully aware of the essential services but i am sure if someone vehicle is in need of vital repairs in order for them to attend work ,they must be something in place to assist ?
