CARIBBEAN ROUNDUP
— agreement on the necessary actions,
widespread buy-in across multiple
stakeholders with regard to the way forward,
and a bi-partisan commitment to
implement the plan.
Last year, 1,332 people were murdered
and so far for this year, the figure
has surpassed 500.
St. Kitts
The St. Kitts and Nevis government
has imposed an EC$500 fine on persons
who fail to wear a mask as efforts continue
to curb the spread of the coronavirus
(COVID-19).
It issued the Emergency Powers
(COVID-19) No 13
Regulations, 2020,
which shows a curfew
remains in effect.
The government
said the wearing of masks when in a
public place has been expanded and
that “notwithstanding the provisions
of the Small Charges Act. Cap. 436
a person shall wear a mask covering
their nose and mouth, once a period
of emergency is declared in relation to
COVID-19.”
However, the government warns that
under the new regulations, a police
officer may issue an EC$500 fixedpenalty
notice “to any person who contravenes
the provisions of Section 15
in relation of wearing face mask in a
public place.”
The twin-island federation has
recorded 18 positive cases of the virus
and no deaths so far.
Trinidad
The European Union has announced
the award of a grant of US$1.7 million
co-financed by the Embassy of
the Netherlands and the Trinidad and
Tobago Red Cross Society to provide
support for the migrant population in
the country.
The EU’s contribution is part of the
EU’s Team Europe
funding initiative,
developed to combat
the COVID-19 pandemic
and its consequences
and is in keeping with the
delegation’s human rights strategy, the
EU said in a statement.
The grant, which will be implemented
by the T&T Red Cross Society over
18 months, will be used to provide
food, mental health and psychological
support, as well as children healthcare
screenings for 500 migrant families,
it said.
The funds will also be used for
communications — to provide critical
health and security information to
migrants, to boost the Red Cross’ overall
humanitarian response mechanism,
and as well to more effectively coordinate
the organization’s activities with
other stakeholders involved in assisting
migrants, the statement said.
