Kudos to Police for getting tough with enforcing COVID regulations

Dear Editor,
I am grateful that the Guyana Police Force is getting tougher with those who are breaching the Government-imposed curfew and regulations.
I understand that the authorities are going to publish the names and pictures of businesses, individuals and organisations which are found in breach of the curfew. This move is one which would get kudos from the law-abiding citizens of Guyana.
I support the Police enforcement activities. It is sure to shame and embarrass those who want to go beyond the curfew. It would make sure people think first about going to these crowded areas and partying in breach of the curfew.
Also, the secret parties and functions would cease because of the associated risk. It would become harder to attract large gatherings once would-be partygoers find out their employment information would be published too.
All readers would agree with me that the Police Force had waited and procrastinated in arriving at this point; but, every day, someone is losing the fight against the COVID-virus, and still persons are not heeding the advice.
Bar owners and businesses must feel the squeeze if they do not want to abide by the task Force restrictions. We have got to do much better. People are becoming seriously ill and dying at an alarming rate as a direct result of the spread of COVID-19. If the Police cannot seem to get this lawlessness under control, the Government should impose reintroduction of the 6pm-to-6am curfew and lockdown, and we will see if that stops the wanton spread of COVID. We cannot continue to sacrifice the safety of the nation because of a few partygoers and businesses.

Yours truly,
Suraj Singh
