Bartica Mayor, Gifford Marshall says the municipality supports the special restrictive measures imposed on Region Seven and reminded residents that they each have an individual responsibility.
In an interview with Stabroek News on Tuesday, Marshall noted while the National Task Force has implemented measures to prevent the spread of COVID-19 in the region, all residents and stakeholders need to be onboard and adhere to the measures. “So we cannot over-emphasise the need for individual responsibility in this pandemic,” the mayor said.
According to the measures, published in the Official Gazette on Monday, non-essential travel in or out of Region Seven has been restricted during the period of December 1st to December 31st and only essential travel in accordance with identified essential services will be permitted.
