Thirty-two restaurants have so far been given approval to go ahead with indoor dining at a 40% capacity in keeping with the amended COVID-19 gazetted emergency measures.
This information was relayed to Stabroek News by Director of the Guyana Tourism Authority (GTA), Carla James, who stated that as of Thursday, a total of 75 restaurants were inspected with 32 of those being given approval to operate indoor dining. In addition to the approvals, the GTA will be conducting a marketing campaign in an effort to inform the public of the names and locations of the eating houses.
The country’s COVID-19 Emergency Measures were amended last week to allow for limited indoor dining at eating establishments. With that amendment, the GTA has been given the responsibility to monitor those establishments to ensure that they adhere to the measures.
