The National COVID-19 Task Force on Friday announced the immediate lifting of the national curfew.
The announcement came one day after President Irfaan Ali had indicated that his administration was exploring lifting the curfew, while citing its impact on business and the tourism sector in particular.
“It is an evolution dealing with the pandemic. We saw that there are many studies saying lockdowns just help by 0.001 per cent, and what is needed in this stage in dealing with the pandemic are the protocols; ensuring that all the agencies have the sanitation device, ensure we continue to educate people on the vaccination program-me, ensuring the guidelines and protocols are observed,” he said on Thursday at the launch of the Explore Guyana Tourist Guide.
