PM Rowley Assures SOE Will Be Lifted Once Medical Advice Indicate Favorable Conditions In Fight Against COVID-19.

Even as the government seeks, in parliament, to get an extension to the State of Emergency, Prime Minister, Dr Keith Rowley, is assuring the population it will be brought to end once medical advice indicate conditions have returned to a favorable position concerning the COVID-19 pandemic.

Piloting the motion “Extend State Of Emergency For Three Months” in the House of Representatives Wednesday afternoon, Dr Rowley gave an extensive overview of government’s handling of the COVID-19 pandemic in the early stages of the virus entering Trinidad and Tobago up to this point.

Dr Rowley dismissed critics of the SOE extension, insisting it is not one by the ruling administration to display power and authority.

However, the Prime Minister said it is needed to ensure that the gains made in managing the virus are not lost which can cause the government to return to measures which were  taken earlier such as another lockdown.
