OWNER of the Trent Restaurant Group Peter George is demanding the Government provide scientific evidence that restaurants are the cause of the recent spike in covid19 cases.
Moveitowne owner Derek Chin also shared this sentiment, saying there was no imperative data to show in-house dining was, in any way, a contributing factor in the rise of cases.
The businessmen spoke to Newsday by phone on Friday, on the latest public health restriction.
On Wednesday, Minister of Health Terrence Deyalsingh announced a return to covid19 restrictions for restaurants, putting a ban on in-house dining for three weeks.
