Editorial
Recent actions and reports seem to indicate that all is not well where it comes to threats posed to our people by the COVID-19 virus. Indeed, many appear to have been disillusioned into thinking otherwise. There has been a growing amount of carelessness amongst many of our people, and large numbers have been observed behaving as though it was all over.
We see many going about without wearing masks, ignoring social distancing, and generally endangering themselves and others. In particular bus drivers have for quite some time now been operating in direct contravention of the health regulations. They do not wear masks, and they allow passengers to enter and be transported in their vehicles also mask-less, and in numbers well in excess of those that they should be carrying.
Quite recently there has been talk of a male person slipping into the country by boat, who then went amongst our people for some time without anyone being aware that he was COVID infected. Now there is also talk of a local worker who, it seems, may have unwittingly become contaminated at her place of work. It is understood that she is now being treated in intensive care, and we all do hope that she will come through her ordeal and experience a full recovery.
The Labour Spokesman calls on ALL of our people to take due cognisance of the fact that COVID-19 is still a grave threat. We entreat you to comply fully with the health authorities of our country, for the sake of yourselves individually and for the collective good of our beloved nation. The dangers of COVID-19 are still with us.
