A 29-year-old woman operating a bar was charged for a breach of a Safe Zone in San Fernando on Monday.
The bar operator has been issued a public health fixed penalty notice for $25,000 for a business failing to comply with requirements for entry under the TT Safe Zone Regulations.
A male patron, 23, was also issued a public health, fixed penalty notice in the sum of $5,000 for entering a safe zone location and failing to comply with the entry requirements.
Police reported that upon reaching a bar located at Bamboo Village, La Romaine, the officers carried out an inspection, in which they discovered in the establishment a male patron who was not in possession of a vaccination card.
According to the TT Safe Zone policy, all persons employed by the establishment must be vaccinated against Covid-19. And the same applies to patrons visiting the business place.
The exercise was coordinated by Sgt Ramlogan, supervised by Cpl Rosan and conducted by members of the Safe Zone Patrol Unit between the hours of 4 pm and 8 pm.
