Mar 16, 2020 News

With regard to the presence of COVID-19 in Guyana, the Department of Citizenship is seeking to ensure that it takes all appropriate and recommended action in ensuring that members of the public who utilize the DoC’s services and its staff members are protected from the spread of COVID-19.
The DoC wishes to remind that a significant number of persons who utilize its services on a daily basis are foreign nationals, many of whom would have engaged in recent overseas travel and could have been exposed to the COVID-19.
Therefore, the DoC advises citizens who seek to conduct business at the Department of Citizenship and the General Registrar’s Office that they are requested to use protective gear as of Monday March 16, 2020.
Specifically, persons visiting the Department of Citizenship and the General Registrar’s Office are asked to wear protective gear to cover their mouth, nostrils and hands.
This request will remain in effect until the status of the spread of COVID-19 in Guyana is reviewed.
The DoC apologises to citizens for the inconvenience and thanks members of the public, in advance, for their understanding and cooperation in view of the prevailing situation.
