No curfew, no lockdown, PM declares
Instead of having ‘draconian’ measures like curfews imposed upon them, residents have been urged to adhere to the existing regulations.

Government does not intend to impose any State of Emergency (SoE) or curfew measures, far less a national lockdown at this point, despite the recent spike in COVID-19 cases in the country particularly among those locals without any recent history of travel.
Prime Minister Dr. Ralph Gonsalves made the point crystal clear on January 18 during an address to the nation.
Instead of ‘those draconian measures’, Dr. Gonsalves said the government had taken the decision to tighten and manage more closely the existing restrictions and regulations, and where it was deemed necessary and desirable, to ramp up the restrictions and controls further.
