it signals that the country is returning to a
semblance of normalcy.
Guyana recorded 1,225 deaths and 63,147
infections linked to the virus since the first
case was reported in March 2020
The authorities announced the removal
of restrictions on hosting and attending
social activities as well as indicating that
mask wearing, while no longer mandatory,
is still being encouraged.
The new COVID-19 measures announced
recently, also state people will no longer
need to present proof of vaccination when
entering public buildings, encouraging also
for those public buildings to keep sensitization
and hand washing stations in place for
visitors.
Businesses are also being encouraged to
keep those stations in place and encourage
employees and visitors to wear face masks.
These new regulations have also totally
remove the restrictions on public gatherings
and religious houses will now be
allowed to host services and events at full
capacity.
For persons traveling to Guyana, the
COVID-19 protocols remain in place at the
airports and other ports of entry.
ST. LUCIA
The St. Lucia government
has announced a marginal
increase in the price of fuel
as it warned that that the global events that
gave led to the increases in the price of oil
will seriously affect its ability to raise revenue
and maintain social programs.
Prime Minister Phillip J. Pierre in a radio
and television broadcast last week said the
government has already started to feel the
effect of loss revenue being collected as a
result of the ongoing situation which he
said was “beyond our control.”
He listed among them the military invasion
of Ukraine by Russia and the resultant
high prices for oil and petroleum products
on the global market.
Pierre said his government has decided
to strike a balance between having to subsidize
fuel prices and protecting the consumer.
“Effective March 21, 2022 the price of
gasoline and diesel will increase by one
Eastern Caribbean dollar from $13.95 to
$14.95 a gallon. The government will continue
to subsidize the 20-pound cylinder of
cooking gas,” Pierre said.
He said that the collection of excise tax
on gasoline and diesel is needed to finance
government operations including the management
of the COVID-19 pandemic.
TRINIDAD
The government has removed most of
the remaining COVID-19 restrictions that
have been in place since the first case of
the virus hit Trinidad and
Tobago on March 12, 2020.
Prime Minister Dr. Keith
Rowley announced the
changes at a news conference
last Saturday at the Diplomatic Center
in Port of Spain.
He said that after meeting with health
officials, a decision was taken to remove
most of the COVID-19 restrictions as of
April 4.
He also announced that restrictions on
nightclubs, parties, music and entertainment
will also be removed.
But he cautioned patrons at those venues
to exercise control.
He also said all restrictions that were in
place for rivers and beaches will be removed
completely.
Rowley said as of last Monday people
entering Trinidad and Tobago will be
allowed to use an antigen test.
He said the Travel Pass will remain
in place for a little while longer but he
anticipated that very soon the government
would be able to remove it.
Rowley also announced that the safe
zone arrangements that were in place will
be removed
He stressed that now that the country
is re-opening, the onus is on the population
to remember that the COVID-19 virus
still exists
Rowley praised health care workers for
getting T&T out of the dark days it was in,
to where it is today.
Since the start of the pandemic in March
2020 T&T recorded 137, 734 cases and
3,734 deaths.

PERIPHERAL NEUROPATHY WARNING!
The low level light therapy is like
watering a plant. The light therapy will
allow the blood vessels to grow back
around the peripheral nerves and provide
them with the proper nutrients to heal
and repair. It’s like adding water to a
plant an seeing the roots grow deeper
and deeper.
In order to effectively treat
your neuropathy three factors
must be determined.
1) What is the underlying cause?
2) How Much Nerve Damage
3) How much treatment will your
condition require?
ONLY a Detailed Neurological and
Vascular Evaluation can determine the
amount of treatment needed for each
person...

DID YOU KNOW...
The most common method your
doctor will recommend to treat your
neuropathy is with prescription drugs...
which only reduce your symptoms?
These types of drugs, over time, may
cause you to feel uncomfortable and
have a variety of harmful side effects
Peripheral Neuropathy is actually a
result of DAMAGE to the Nerves...
Most Commonly caused by a lack of
to degeneration of the nerves.
As you can see in Figure 1 , as the
blood vessels that surround nerves
begin to “die” they cause you to have
balance problems, pain, numbness,
tingling, burning, and many additional
symptoms.
