Play it safe - Barbados Today

The COVID-19 Monitoring Unit will be adopting a zero-tolerance approach to protocol breaches on land and sea this weekend, as part of a sobering reminder of the pandemic’s impact on cultural celebrations, entertainment and other forms of enjoyment.Director of the unit, Ronald Chapman revealed that he was deeply concerned about advertisements for prohibited entertainment events over the period that is traditionally considered the most festive on the Crop Over calendar.“I have heard of and seen a number of flyers and so on where people advertise parties, and I saw an advertisement for a raft-up which is where persons take boats and they dock next to the shore and they have their get-togethers and so on, but I really want to encourage persons that these things are not legal,” Chapman told Barbados TODAY on Friday.
