The government is trying to strike a balance with the opening of certain sectors, according to Health Minister Dr. Frank Anthony, who says that activities that can pose public health hazards are still prohibited.
Anthony sought to explain the government’s approach during his COVID-19 update last Wednesday.
The opening of certain establishments for operations, Anthony said, comes as the government is trying to strike a balance between the public health measures that are imposed and to also ensure that persons can earn. Anthony mentioned that it would be easy for authorities to lockdown the country and have persons stay home but that would result in lost jobs and persons not being able to provide for themselves and family.
