HEALTH Minister Terrence Deyalsingh has praised doubles vendors for adhering to measures to prevent the spread of Covid-19.
Speaking at the virtual media conference on Thursday, he also commended street vendors and supermarkets.
Food outlets were allowed to resume curbside pickup after some restrictions were lifted in the Public Health Ordinance on May 11.
Deyalsingh said, “I am paying particular attention to doubles vendors. I drove past about five doubles vendors, one in Curepe junction, one in the gas station in El Socorro, one outside my office on Park Street, one on Edward Street, and I must say those five I visited so far seem to be well prepared, have adopted the measures, and I really want to congratulate them.”
“He said the doubles vendors were leading by example.
Deyalsingh said, “We can beat this thing, we can hopefully open a bit sooner if we work together and adopt these simple public health measures.”
“Let the doubles vendors be the example that I have seen, and I want to congratulate them. If we do that, we will get through this together, and we can try and open up more and more, hopefully in a more compressed period of time.”
