Attorney General Dale Marshall has been tasked with providing the Mia Mottley administration with a legal opinion on the civil and criminal liability associated with aspects of mandatory vaccination and mandatory testing for COVID-19.

Head of the Barbados Private Sector Association (BPSA) Edward Clarke does not believe there is a need for a national lockdown – yet, he said Wednesday.
But he added that if health authorities fail in their efforts to control the spike of COVID-19 cases, then he would be open to the move which he believes must be well thought out.
His comments have come in the wake of calls for a full lockdown of the island with over 200 COVID-19 cases being recorded in the space of two days.
On Monday, prominent physician Dr Adrian Lorde called for a full-scale lockdown to bring the situation under control.
