Sherry Persad, president of the TT Members Club Association, is devastated that her employees and other casino employees have to stay home for three weeks.
Persad spoke to Newsday in a phone interview on Friday, the day after the Prime Minister announced that all casinos, among certain other businesses, would be closed owing to a spike in covid19 infections. I know that the situation is grave, but I hope everyone does what they have to do so we can open up on May 24. We know this is a challenging time. Not getting an income is hard.
