More businesses approved to open as COVID-19 cases drop
As such, effective today September 12, 2020, within the confines of the current of 5:00 a.m. and 1:00 p.m. daily curfew, all businesses with the exception of salons, hairdressers, barbershops, restaurants for in-service dining, bars, night clubs and pubs can now open to serve the public.
Those not approved to open will remain closed until further notice, a release from the Government Information Service (GIS) noted, however, all other businesses allowed will be subject to inspection by the Social Distancing Monitoring Task Force and certification by the Environmental Health Division.
Public thanked for help in reducing virus spread
Minister for Health and Social Development, Hon Carvin Malone (AL) commenting on the move said, “Although we are still on curfew, I want to again thank the public for their cooperation and assure them that the Government is doing all that it can to make the best decisions with everyone’s best health and interest in regard.”
Cabinet will meet again on Tuesday, September 15, 2020, to further review safety measures and protocols implemented to suppress the spread of COVID-19 in the Territory.
The public is being encouraged to report any suspicious activity by dialling 311 and to continue adhering to all COVID-19 safety measures such as the washing of hands, wearing face masks in public, physical distancing and minimising social gatherings.

I would not mind seeing bars and night club with restaurant as well close at 1 or 2 am. That all night until morning cut it out.
Allow them (them being bars and clubs) to open from 12pm and until 2am. That should be more than enough time. Cause the regular business does be open for 12 or 14 hours max.
The only times I see when they should be allowed open until morning 6am if it's festival or government planned activity.
Also may they too can be granted 12 activity per year whereby the can open until 6am. When a request by the government.
Times are changing and i think it's time to regulate these late night clubs and bars and such.
I know I will get a lot of hate and bad reply with this.
But sit and thing about it from possible angles and you see what i am saying is not back.
And if you still do. Who cares what you think. It's not like what i say they will do. I am just simply voicing my point of view. So go eat icrecream and cool down.
At least open up the public office please...
When we compare this territory with Aruba, Curacao, Bon Air and St. Martin , they are the Mecca of tourism in the Caribbean along with Jamaica. They are all reeling under the virus. The economies of those countries are about to collapse We should be rejoicing that we have one death only. That is a tremendous success that needs to be celebrated. Thanks to the Hon. Premier and his hard working medical team as well as the Min. of Health for keeping us safe, that other territories would like to emulate.
