PM rolls back opening: Beaches, churches, gyms to close, no dining

The Prime Minister has announced several reversions to lockdown measures, including the closure of beaches and rivers, taxis operating at 50 per cent capacity and ceasing in-house dining.

Dr Rowley was speaking at a press conference at the Diplomatic Centre in St Ann’s on Saturday afternoon.

Chief Medical Officer Dr Roshan Parasram said TT is no longer at the stage of cluster spread but is now at the community spread level. It is because of this, Rowley said, these lockdown measures were being introduced.

* Water parks to remain closed

* All places of worship to remain closed

* All gyms to remain closed

* All cinemas to remain closed

* Public gatherings limited to five people, ten for funerals and weddings

* No contact/team sports

* Casinos and member clubs to remain closed

* No in-house dining at restaurants, food courts, bars

* All teaching institutions are to remain closed until further notice and most likely until December 31.
