As a result, boats (motor vessels) will leave Carriacou en route to Grenada at the weekend to facilitate the transporting of supplies for the restocking of the shops and supermarkets on the sister isle.

Western Union will be open to the public on Tuesday, 14 April 2020 between 8 am and 1 pm.

Gas stations will be open on Saturday, 11 April 2020 between 8 am and noon for the sole purpose of serving essential workers.

Please note the information is specific to Carriacou only.

    Oh and I left out something from my comments below. I am running out of gas, what am I supposed to do? I have no bread or other food that does not need cooking. There are no take aways either. From this article it is not clear that the weekend shopping is not for Carriacou, I just found out because I phoned a friend.

    I thought I was living in 21st century.
    We are stuck in Cariaccou, I can loose my job, and I cannot even eat. We don’t have enough water either.
    We have been waiting in a que for hours on a last shopping day, couldn’t get everything. Obviously we didn’t know we’ll have to wait until Tuesday. I don’t think anyone from the locals bought enough food. It was never said clearly that weekend shopping is for Grenada only. It’s not fare to change the rules as you please. Even if the shops are not fully stocked on Saturday we could have bought essentials.
    As many people already commented, if every one goes out in a same time it is even more difficult to keep distance and it just will help to spread the virus. Let’s hope it’s not here! Also there is nowhere to stand, there is not enough pavement space.
    The shops should be open every day, at least a limited time to avoid overcrowding, especially as there are no cases here. And I cannot understand why we cannot go out to exercise at least for an hour.
    I believe a lot of families in Cariaccou will be starving this Easter thanks to Grenadian government who don’t know what is going on in their own country.

    This is cruel. Not allowing people to shop for Easter seems heavy handed. Easter Is the holiest day on the christian calendar where families eat and gather together. It is a level of corporeal punishment that teaches no lesson and causes more suffering and hardship than necessary. In the long run, this move harms the citizens of Carriacou more than it helps them. Happy Easter and blessed Sunday to all.

    That sounds self explanatory. The shops need to restock with essential goods for reopening on Tuesday if the boat is leaving Carriacou at the weekend. The problem.is not when the shops are open, it’s people all going in a rush for fear of not getting produce. I think the days of people starving in Carriacou are behind us. I think if we are all mindful.of neighbours and friends we can get through this!

    I’m totally confused. Why restrict access to Carriacou grocery stores? Is it because suppliers can’t get supplies to the island via cargo/ferry ship? And the shops will be empty?

    Or is it to control the movement of people for the next few days? By restricting access to the grocery stores for another 5 days, the government will ensure pandemonium occurs Tuesday when everyone shows up to go shopping. AT THE SAME TIME!!!!

    Can someone explain why grocery stores are being closed in Carriacou? I need, and value your opinion. Stay safe. Thank you.

      The policy makers obviously have no idea what they’re doing. They’re just throwing everything at the wall to see what sticks. Restricting grocery shopping is the exact opposite of what we need right now.
