The Government of Barbados on Thursday awarded the Government of Guyana for its assistance in the fight against the COVID-19 pandemic.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation said the award was conferred at the Inaugural Humanitarian Award Ceremony, held at the Kensington Oval, on Heroes Day, a national holiday when the people of Barbados reflect on the several achievements of post-independence nationhood and in particular recognize the valuable contributions made by citizens.
