Business Chambers Recommend More Safe Zones

The business community continues to be concerned about the impact of COVID-19. This, from AMCHAM T&T, the Energy Chamber, and the T&T Chamber of Industry and Commerce. The groups have put forward additional recommendations to Government to aid in curbing the spread of the virus. In a joint statement, the groups said unfortunately, the virus continues to spread and are therefore calling for other measures to be taken. The joint Chambers are recommending that Government put in place legal clarity to allow businesses to make their business places Safe Zones. It suggested that in both the public and private sectors, people who do not have a medical reason not to be, must be vaccinated. There was also an additional recommendation to make all public buildings Safe Zones. The joint Chambers say Trinidad and Tobago is in a crisis with regard to the continued rapid spread of the COVID-19 pandemic, and expressed hope that Government acts on the recommendations soon.
