Amid criticism on multiple fronts over her administration’s handling of the COVID-19 crisis, Prime Minister Mia Mottley pushed back gently on her critics, saying she welcomed all criticism but declared there is no “perfect” plan for COVID.
Speaking Thursday during her address to the nation, Mottley said that Barbados, like other countries around the globe, are all handling the pandemic in the best way they can, and though mistakes will be made at points, countries are all striving to make their individual situations better for all their citizens.
