Health Minister Dr Frank Anthony last night announced that healthcare workers and public transport operators will be given a two-week extension to comply with the recently instituted COVID-19 vaccination protocols.
“I have examined the request and wish to announce that healthcare workers, public transport operators and conductors will be given two weeks to comply with the Order,” Anthony said in a statement.
Anthony, who did not indicate what would happen if they fail to comply, explained that the decision was taken following representation by various stakeholders that more time was needed for compliance with sections of the latest COVID- 19 Emergency Measures, which came into effect at the start of the month. Among other things, they require public transport operators to be vaccinated with at least one dose of a COVID-19 vaccine.
