The T&T Chamber is relieved that the Government has agreed to allow the retail sector to open. This is hopefully another step towards reopening sectors which are still closed such as cinemas, day spas and salons, churches etc and to allowing full operations in others, such as the restaurant industry.
T&T Chamber looks forward to the continued roll out of vaccinations
The T&T Chamber is happy to hear that there will be reduced restrictions for a number of sectors on a phased basis, however we would have liked this to be extended to online retail sales and delivery. These companies have invested in digital infrastructure and are able to conduct business responsibly, while keeping staff and customers safe and providing much needed services.
T&T Chamber looks forward to upcoming collaboration
The T&T Chamber supports the opening of all construction and its related businesses. We are happy that additional sectors have been prioritized for vaccines with the view to opening in the near future. We are looking forward to seeing the acceleration of the “Vaccinate to Operate” campaign, which would allow for more business sectors to open safely. We are relieved that there have been some relaxations in the restrictions and the borders are finally being opened to
our citizens and vaccinated non-citizens
