The Opposition APNU+AFC yesterday charged that the government has no strategy to tackle COVID-19 in Guyana and has referred to its management of the pandemic as appalling.
As deaths due to the virus have doubled just one month after the PPP/C government took office, the coalition members of parliament (MPs) charged that since assuming office, there has been no definitive plan to properly address the pandemic.
This pronouncement was made during a virtual press conference held by the coalition MPs yesterday. According to former minister, Dr Karen Cummings, the new government’s move to abandon a “strategic plan left in place by the APNU+AFC” was reckless. She told the virtual press conference that the former government recognised the need to have all sectors involved in the fight against the disease.
