Response To COVID-19: The Retail Sector

From Day One of the COVID-19 pandemic, several areas of national commercial activity were prioritised as being essential to a measure of normalcy while the health sector addressed the immediate needs of a nation under threat. The food and domestic supply sector has remained open and engaged in providing some of these essential requirements. At today's Ministry of Health Virtual Media Conference, several measures were also announced to ensure the continued safety of workers and customers in the retail sector. In this programme, host Wesley Gibbings speaks with Supermarkets Association President, Rajiv Diptee, on the status of the sector and how he sees the way forward.
