Youth urge safe celebrations for COVID-tinged independence

With the COVID-19 outbreak cancelling traditional Independence Day activities, some Guyanese youth have suggestions for celebrating the day safely.

Guyana will mark its 54th independence anniversary next Tuesday.

While there are usually a number of public activities, the usual venues, including the parks, gardens, and sports grounds, have been closed due to current measures in place to prevent the spread of COVID-19.
