(FILE) Social Share Some business people and employees are denying claims that their practices are responsible for the spike in cases. It comes on the heels of Chief Medical Officer Dr Kenneth George expressing concern about the practices of some Barbadians while on the job. Executive director of the Barbados Employers’ Confederation, Sheena Mayers-Granville, said she believed other factors such as COVID fatigue could be a possible reason for the recent increase. “The mental strain on persons while navigating the pandemic has been immense. Eighteen months into the pandemic and COVID-19 fatigue is a very real phenomenon across the entire island. While health and safety in workplaces remain paramount, the reality is that in a small society, actions at both home and work are interrelated,” she said.
