Businesses will be trained before re-opening– Mr Michael


Mr Michael while addressing the Government's stakeholder meeting on Thursday, January 13, 2022, stressed that his department is not all about the money, but will be ensuring that businesses and their patrons subscribe and adhere to the protocols.

He also complimented other businesses for their adherence to the measures which will curtail the spread of COVID-19.

Mr Michael added that his department is not bent on keeping establishments closed as a form of punishment and will provide training to defaulting businesses.

He said this will ensure the businesses are fully aware of the safety protocols and the necessary measures are put in place to safely reopen for business again.
