T&T PM: Carnival Will Go On, Urges Vax

TRINIDAD AND TOBAGO – Trinidadian Prime Minister Dr. Keith Rowley says there are no plans to cancel Carnival or introduce lockdown restrictions similar to what was implemented in 2020, following a recent increase in covid-19 cases.

During a media briefing at the Diplomatic Centre on Thursday, Dr. Rowley said there’s no need to close the country’s borders as the relevant variants of concern have already been detected within the country.

Dr. Rowley says while there’s no need to panic just yet, the public must pay attention, be responsible and practice health and safety protocols.

He said what’s important is that the most vulnerable populations follow health protocols and get vaccinated.
