Covid19 guidelines seem to have taken a back seat as the excitement builds towards the Tobago House of Assembly (THA) election on Monday. Supporters of the People s National Movement (PNM) and Progressive Democratic Patriots (PDP) have been guilty of gathering in large numbers, wearing masks improperly and not staying six feet apart.
And though police and members of the parties executives have been encouraging adherence to covid19 guidelines during meetings, they seemed near impossible to follow amid the election frenzy.

Five Islands Water and Amusement Park is appealing to Government for permission to reopen.
Director of marketing and sales at Five Islands Louanna Borde said several attempts were made, and proposals sent to Health Minister Terrance Deyalsingh and Chief Medical Officer Dr Roshan Parasram, to have the facility open in keeping with the health protocols.
She said it was disappointing that no concessions were being made to have their establishment reopen, even on a limited basis and questioned why such a harsh decision was being taken, when other family entertainment facilities were allowed to conduct business as usual.
