OWNER of the Trent Restaurant Group Peter George is demanding the Government provide scientific evidence that restaurants are the cause of the recent spike in covid19 cases.
Moveitowne owner Derek Chin also shared this sentiment, saying there was no imperative data to show in-house dining was, in any way, a contributing factor in the rise of cases.
The businessmen spoke to Newsday by phone on Friday, on the latest public health restriction.
On Wednesday, Minister of Health Terrence Deyalsingh announced a return to covid19 restrictions for restaurants, putting a ban on in-house dining for three weeks.

Businessmen Ryan Chin, John Quan and Derek Chin say the restaurant and cinema industries are hoping they can soon start selling alcohol again. It has not been business as usual, they said.
After weeks of only allowing them to do curbside pick-up and take-out orders, on November 7 the Prime Minister announced in-house dining at restaurants could resume, but under two conditions: only at 50 per cent capacity and no alcohol was to be served.
Dr Rowley said, Alcohol has shown and been shown to be one of the contributors to the results that we don t, want where people consume alcohol and it reduces their level of responsibility.
