Well done Grenada ! I didn’t know I would say this. But I am so proud of you for taking steps to keep us safe but we MUST do our part.
God be with us all
Thank you NOW GRENADA for keeping us up to date.
Come on greens put you guys feet down we don’t want this biological weapon attacking our little island stay safe at all times blessings to all you guys .
Not sure why some are so myopic. Covid is a pandemic because it is highly contagious and a shutdown only delays the inevitable while imposing economic damage to the country. It can be managed, treated and is likely to kill a whole lot less people than diabetes, heart disease, high blood pressure/stroke, HIV, and a whole lotta other common causes.
Well done Grenada I’m proud of you, Barbados should have done the same,….but God
What about those who came back to the country in the dead of night back to Grenada when the virus was in full swing the government looked the other way by saying ain’t nothing happening over here.
Well done we should have done the same thing in Trinidad and Tobago everyone should have been quarantine as soon as they landed and I blame the government for even hosting the carnival….but never the less jus pray 4 us over here plz……
Girl get your facts right those cases came in long after carnival and the are all imported.
This island of Grenada which I had visited last August with my family to celebrate my mother’s 80th Birthday which is the place where she was born. I believe that it was lucky that the covid-19 coronavirus did not hit it to cause a shutdown like in my home of Trinidad and Tobago.
This somewhat incomplete list of banned countries should start with the US. They have tested fewer persons than some developing countries!
In Dominica (as a tourist) I was advised that Grenada is closed, along with St Vincent and the Grenadines.
