\u00a0<\/b>The Government of Grenada is continuing its series of\u00a0 engagements with bus operators on the health and safety requirements for operations in the\u00a0 transportation sector.<\/p>\n
In the most recent engagement with\u00a0the presidents of the Bus Associations and bus operators\u00a0\u00a0and senior officials of the Division of Transport, the Royal Grenada Police Force and Chief\u00a0\u00a0Medical Officer, Dr. Shawn Charles, clarity was provided on the application and enforcement\u00a0\u00a0of the Public Health (COVID-19) Regulations and guidelines governing bus operations.<\/p>\n
Officials reiterated that it was mandatory for everyone to wear a mask or other suitable face\u00a0 covering in public places including in Bus Terminals and on buses, unless excused on grounds\u00a0 outlined in the Regulations.<\/p>\n
Persons will be held individually responsible for not wearing their mask and will therefore be\u00a0\u00a0subject to a fine for non-compliance.<\/p>\n
The COVID-19 Regulations also stipulate that persons travelling on buses must sanitise their\u00a0\u00a0hands on entering the bus.<\/p>\n
Therefore, all occupants (passengers and bus operators), must sanitise their hands before\u00a0\u00a0entering the bus or utilise the mounted sanitisation facility where available. Occupants are also\u00a0\u00a0expected to sanitise their hands after handling money.<\/p>\n
Effective today October 1, 2020, every bus operator will be responsible for the sanitisation of\u00a0\u00a0his\/her bus. Sanitisation may be done by way of mechanical application or manually using an\u00a0\u00a0approved 70% strength or greater alcohol based solution or disinfectant spray.<\/p>\n
The public is reminded that buses are allowed to operate at full insurable capacity in keeping\u00a0\u00a0with health and safety measures as outlined above.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
