Is GPL Grove Branch in breach of the country’s COVID-19 regulations?

May 30, 2022 Letters

Dear Editor,
The Extraordinary Gazettes – 14th March, 2022 – Regulations No. 8 of 2022 – The Public Health Ordinance – Revocation clause #11 brought about much needed change in Guyana, following an extensive lock-down and public policing COVID-19 restrictions era. It signalled the country was open to do business again; this has been the case everywhere except the GPL Grove Branch. As recent as Saturday, May 28, 2022, persons were requested to provide their COVID-19 vaccinations evidence as a condition to conduct business at that GPL location. The multiple security persons addressing the public were essentially unmasked and not professionally attired so their request/ reasons for remains baffling.
Business that serve hundreds per day, such as, the commercial banks, NIS, GPL Head Office, GTT, Government Ministries, etc., no longer prevent or harass persons although they do continuously monitor the social distancing process for customers within their buildings.
When informed what the official gazette regulatory guidelines were, the female guard present defended the elderly male guard that was making the request by claiming he was working with instructions. Whose instructions? GPL needed to put out a public notice of this requirement exception with an explanation so persons can be properly informed beforehand to avoid confrontations with their security personnel.
Isn’t it lawlessness for GPL, a public company, to reinforce a requirement during a period when the said requirement was revoked by the government of Guyana or is the GPL Grove Branch/Outlet operating within a regulatory system of its own?

Sincerely
Concerned Citizen
