TUESDAY was a particularly quiet day in San Fernando, with most of the pedestrian traffic being those who were grocery shopping, grabbing a bite at a bakery or getting medication at a pharmacy.
On Monday, the Prime Minister reintroduced stricter public health regulations which saw the closure of all food services and non-essential retail businesses.
In the official regulations, it was made clear that other than banks, pharmacies, hardware and groceries, greengrocers, fruit and vegetable stalls, bakeries, poultry depots, parlours and corner shops are also considered essential retail services.
