While the updated COVID-19 Emergency measures allows for cinemas to resume operations from today, Caribbean Cinemas and MovieTowne yesterday said that they would not be reopening as yet due to a restriction on the sale of food and drinks.

As a result, the two establishments are calling for the authorities to review and reconsider the decision to not allow concession stands at the cinemas.

With the latest update of the COVID Emergency Measures, gazetted last Thursday and in effect for August, cinemas were given the green light to resume operations, albeit at a 40% capacity.
