Gov’t making COVID-19 update @ 11:00am
The decision comes as the Territory has seen a sharp spike in COVID-19 cases, to 38 active cases in just a short couple of days to end the month of August.
Premier, Governor & Health Minister to present
Members of the public were on August 30, 2020, told by Premier and Minister of Finance, Hon Andrew A. Fahie (AL) to be prepared for a possible 24/7 lockdown of the Territory for 14-days, pending cabinet approval.
This resulted in supermarkets and hardware stores flooded with customers on August 31, 2020.
Today’s announcement will feature Premier Fahie, Governor Augustus J.U. Jaspert and Minister for Health and Social Development, Hon Carvin Malone (AL) all presenting on the way forward for the Territory, according to a social media post from the Government Information Service.
While some Opposition legislators had suggested that the three had not presented COVID-19 updates as a group due to an alleged fight in Cabinet, Premier Fahie has since debunked those claims as misinformation and mischief.
