Boating operators traversing the route between Parika and Supenaam have agreed to enforce social distancing on their vessels to reduce the risk of spreading COVID-19 among passengers.
“As a safety concern, we all know the COVID-19 pandemic that is going on so we are trying to reduce the number of passengers that the vessels carry,” said Joseph Mendes a boat captain with about 20 years’ experience working on the Essequibo River, according to the Department of Public Information (DPI).
