The state of emergency has been extended for another three months until March, 31, 2021, Prime Minister Gaston Browne announced in Parliament on Tuesday, December 15.
The resolution means that rights of citizens will be further restricted while the government continues to manage the coronavirus. The extension will allow the government to maintain curfew hours, to utilize tracking bracelets for persons in quarantine and to implement other necessary measures to manage Covid-19.
In making his case for the extension, Prime Minister Gaston Browne said that Covid-19 is still a significant existential threat noting that the country is entering its most challenging period during the winter season from December 21, 2020 to March 21, 2021.
