For the second consecutive year, Buccoo, Tobago, will not host one of the island’s most treasured pastimes – goat-racing – on Easter Tuesday.
Chief Secretary Ancil Dennis gave confirmation at the post executive council media briefing on Wednesday.
He said the action was necessary in light of the recent upsurge in covid19 cases. Tobago currently has 12 active covid19 cases
