    The Hon Premier Andrew A. Fahie, leader of government business, should be lauded for providing update, albeit once a week, on this pandemic. The pandemic is a serious and evolving pandemic and residents should be informed more frequently than every Tuesday. Preferably, the public should be briefed daily by the Premier. Well, if not daily at least Monday, Wednesday and Friday. When is the Task Force going to be rolled out? This disease has been on the radar screen since January so what is the tall pole in the tent? By the way, Guy Hill, former Acting Chief Immigration Officer, and Deputy Chief Immigration Officer, should be considered as a member of the Task Force. The Task Force should have been rolled out yesterday.
