Unvaccinated staff were yesterday asked to leave the Ministry of Education’s Lot 21 Brickdam office after a grace period to be vaccinated expired.

Meanwhile, the Ministry denied reports that members of the Guyana Police Force (GPF) removed unvaccinated staff in handcuffs from the office.

In a statement released last evening, Permanent Secretary Alfred King, explained that while the GPF was summoned to escort a staff member from the Personnel Department they did not have to because the employee left “voluntarily”.
