The new PPP/C government is working to secure $4.5 billion as an emergency response for households affected by the COVID-19 pandemic and is also establishing a response unit as part of a revamped effort to tackle the disease that has claimed 22 lives and battered the business sector.
This disclosure was made yesterday by President Irfaan Ali, who said that “everything possible” must be done to protect the people of Guyana from the “dreaded and dreadful” disease.
“The COVID-19 pandemic has already claimed too many lives. Everything possible must be done to protect our people from this dreaded and dreadful disease,” Ali said during his inauguration speech at the National Cultural Centre.
