With the number of recorded COVID-19 cases on the island upward of 700, president of the Democratic Labour Party (DLP) Verla De Peiza is pleading with Government to put Barbados “on pause”.
De Peiza said the time had come for the Mia Mottley-led administration to restrict international flights for one week to allow health authorities to adequately test the increased local COVID-19 cases.
“The Democratic Labour Party on behalf of the people of Barbados again calls for serious consideration of a national pause. We are moving towards that anyway when one considers the number of closed establishments, and the number of citizens again working from home.
