Statement from the Ministry of Health 25 March 2021

25 March 2021
in Health, PRESS RELEASE
2 min. read
Share

The Ministry of Health witnessed with great concern the blatant disregard for Covid-19 protocols, exhibited during the protest event by some public service employees on Tuesday, 23 March.

Ministry officials observed with horror, the flouting of all fundamental public health protocols, while protesters paraded through the streets and at the Ministerial Complex in Tanteen.

Chanting as they progressed along their route, the protesters failed to maintain the recommended physical distance, and many were not wearing a mask or other face covering as mandated by law.

These factors are key principles that have been articulated worldwide for preventing the spread of Covid-19.

The protesters it appears, were willing to put everyone else at risk. The sacrifices made by the entire nation to remain safe, were apparently not given any consideration, and the lost freedoms and livelihoods seemed to mean nothing.

While every individual’s right to protest should be protected, the way in which Tuesday’s activity was carried out, was quite alarming, given the global context.

Even closer to home, at the regional level, Grenada is surrounded by countries experiencing community spread of Covid-19. The horrors being experienced by our regional brothers and sisters in this pandemic are made quite visible in daily news reports.

It is therefore unfair than a handful of Grenadians will seek to squander the hard-fought gains that we have made as a people united towards the common objective of fighting Covid-19. Mass gatherings that occur in this manner can create severe public health consequences for the entire country.

    MOH look to yourselves just now. This protest had many people wearing masks. You keep preaching that Grenada has no covid yet you are NOT actively TESTING anymore do this is a false statement. You had NO SOCIAL DISTANCING in the line ups for vaccinations. You are not publishing the safety protocols for AFTER VACCINATIONS nor are you publishing the CURRENT LIST of COVID SYMPTOMS and testing those with symptoms in an open , easy and respectful manner around the WHOLE ISLAND. There are no concerns over this protest. PAY THE TEACHERS what they are LEGALLY entitled to.

    Who wrote this piece of rubbish…

    Who made the most sacrifices at the height of this pandemic if not teachers and civil servants.

    MOH fancy that the protesters came from an outer planet.

    Is that the next tactic? It’s too obvious..

    Who wrote this piece of verbiage? Wish I could give them some simple pointers.

    Furthermore, has the MOH witnessed the cattle-in -a pen-like atmosphere which surrounded the early days of their own covid vaccination centers? They themselves boast fully shared some of those alarming pictures with people jam packed like sardines as if they were blind or dumb to the protocols which they themselves promote.
    MOH better stop trying to play politics in this inept and fumbling way as evidenced by this piece of crap written here.
    COVID will not be used a whipping boy to deny grenaidans their just rights.
