THE American Chamber of Commerce of Trinidad and Tobago (AMCHAM T&T) welcomes the expansion of the Safe Zone legislation to all Government employees.
In a release on Saturday, AMCHAM T&T referred to a request made on December 13 via a joint release with the Energy Chamber and T&T Chamber.
Its release came after Prime Minister Dr Keith Rowley on Saturday announced that all government workers must be vaccinated in order to continue to work from mid-Janaury.
The chamber stated “We look forward to the inclusion of the private sector in the legislation that will be brought to the Parliament so that businesses will also have the legal clarity to designate their facilities as safe zones.
“We understand that this is a sensitive issue and that this decision was not taken lightly, but hoped these measures combined with responsible individual behaviour will result in fewer deaths and lower infection rates as a result of Covid-19.
