41 persons charged for breaking curfew in Georgetown

Over the past week, officers of the City Constabulary Department have arrested 41 persons for allegedly breaching the 6 pm to 6 am curfew.
The Mayor and City Council (M&CC) on Friday said, via its Facebook page, that these persons were placed on $10,000 station bail each, and are expected to appear in court to answer the charges next week.
The M&CC also recently announced that it was stepping up efforts to ensure that both shoppers and vendors comply with the necessary measures to contain the spread of COVID-19.
A few days ago, 51 vendors, who were found operating without a face mask, were fined $5000 each. These vendors were found operating at Albouystown, Stabroek, and Bourda Markets.
“The Mayor and Councillors of the City of Georgetown implores all citizens to observe the COVID-19 precautionary guidelines set out by the Ministry of Public Health. We have to work together to beat COVID-19,” the M&CC had said.
