With Region Four accounting for the majority of continuing COVID-19 infections and deaths to date, Chairman Daniel Seeram believes that more stringent measures, including a lockdown, should be put in place to combat the spread of the virus but he says several appeals to the COVID-19 Task Force to take action have so far been in vain.
Seeram told Stabroek News on Friday that among the recommendations he has made to the Task Force during his appeals has been a lockdown of Region Four, a reinstitution of the 6pm to 6am curfew, a reduction of the number of passengers allowed on public transportation vehicles from 100 to 40 % and the reinstatement of a shift-system for public service workers.
