Good Morning,
Re: Construction on the Island of Carriacou,
Minister of Health-Mr. Steele,
Kindly explain ton the People of Carriacou as to why the Chinese Construction is continuing work on certain projects while there is a “LOCKDOWN” due to the COVID-19 situation.
I understand that there are certain contractual obligations between governments.
It seems that what I am hearing is somewhat unjust.
Please have someone from that sector explain.
Thank you,
Are you allowing repatriation flights to come and collect the UK citizens who are covid free from carricou and grenada. There is reportd to be 600 + people waiting on flights to leave?
Yes, the Grenadian government should allow repatriation flights come in and take passengers that want to leave. Most of us want to and need to leave. No one from the government has mentioned anything about people stranded here, who dropped their livelihood, especially the self employed.
Do you know please about any repatriation flights to UK?
I assume you are running out of water because NAWASA are shutting off supply without notice? It happens to us daily. NAWASA needs sorting out big time. Whoever is running it should be fired and their web site must tell the truth about their rubbish service and lack of response or care. They must be the most unreliable utility supplier in the civilised world. Absolute rubbish
Great news that we can get out a bit more. It is absolutely possible to exercise walk early in the morning. Take plenty of drinking water with you especially if you have experienced heat stroke. I can truly sympathise about the swimming or just being in the sea, but we all know if its relaxed it will be abused and before we know it there will be parties and BBQs. Patience is called for here. The more of us observe the rules the sooner we will be out of it.
Thanks for your reply.
I would be really shocked if someone doesn’t know the difference between 10. minutes swim and parties and BBQ.
I believe people of Grenada have more common sense than that.
Item K may me a misprint. “Drive-through or takeaway services by food vendors and restaurants from 8 am to 5 pm from Monday to Friday”.Should this not be the same as designated days?
It is fantastic news that we can exercise now, but it is extremely difficult to do that in this intense heat. I already had a mild heatstroke, as we are running out of water, cannot even take a shower any time. The best way to exercise and cool down is to go to the beach.
I am getting skin problems from the heat. I didn’t have any heat rash when I was able to swim.
I was feeling mentally and physically significantly better. I am sure I am not alone.
I have been to Grenada and Carriacou many times before and I never seen an overcrowded beach!!
The salt water helps to kill bacteria and viruses.
Back home, if someone has a cold we dissolve shop bought sea salt in water and gargle with it to get rid of cold and flu. When we are by the sea we just go for a swim to heal, I know this from my own experience for years.
Social distancing especially on beaches of Carriacou Is absolutely possible, I believe in Grenada as well.
It seems comments about NAWASA cutting off supply without notice are being blocked on this site. I assume you are running out of water because of NAWASA’s dreadful customer service, happens to us daily. They are the most incompetent utility on the island and someone needs to sort them out.
Agree entirely with your statements Sylvia. I have similar issues with my skin. The sea is my healer for so many issues. The Beaches can and are Policed, social distancing can happen. Bondi Beach is opened after only 5 weeks lockdown!!! Come on Grenada LETS GET SWIMMING AGAIN
