2 SEPTEMBER 2021, ST. GEORGE’S: The current rate of transmission of Covid-19 in Grenada is significant and we are seeing an increase in Covid-19 related deaths. 

As Senator for Agriculture and Fisheries, I am appealing to all our farmers and fisherfolk to please comply with the requirements of the Covid-19 health and safety protocols to keep yourselves, your families, workers, and contacts safe. 

I support the efforts of the Ministry of Health and the nation’s frontline workers, to keep the country safe, and I strongly encourage my constituents to get vaccinated.
