The Government of Grenada is assuring the population that the announcement of Saturday, 11 April as the next shopping day is not meant as an affront to any religion.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Covid-19 Response Co-ordinator, Dr George Mitchell explained that the decision is based purely on scientific modelling which puts the contacts of those who have tested positive, near the end of their 14-day period of exposure.<\/p>\n

Dr Mitchell said it is therefore critical to ensure that there is sustained control in the next few days to minimise the potential spread of the virus.<\/p>\n

Now that Grenada has the ability to test samples, Dr Mitchell says it is also important that this period is used to conduct additional tests which would help to provide a better appreciation for where we are, with regard to the fight against Covid-19.<\/p>\n

Relatedly, positive discussions are being held with a view to adding another shopping day. An announcement on this will be forthcoming.<\/p>\n
