MovieTowne closes cinemas after ban on in-house meals

Moments after the Ministry of Health's rollback of covid19 restrictions to prohibit in-house dining at restaurants, casinos, and cinemas, MovieTowne announced its decision to close all its cinemas for three weeks.

Minister of Health Terrence Deyalsingh said, during the virtual press conference on Wednesday morning, that the number of people allowed to gather in public has been reduced from ten to five, and access to beaches is prohibited, including Down the Islands — effective from midnight.

In a release posted on its Facebook page, MovieTowne said a reopening date will be announced in a subsequent post.

“We therefore ask that you follow the advice and guidelines issued by the government, maintain social distancing, minimise risk exposure, and observe the mandatory hygienic practices.”
