By TANYA SMITH-CARTWRIGHT tsmith-cartwright@tribunemedia.net NATIONAL Security Minister Marvin Dames says while most Bahamians understand the seriousness of COVID-19, there are still a few who continue to operate “counter to the law”. “I think Bahamians are beginning to understand that we are in some serious times and that if we are going to get beyond this, it’s incumbent upon each and every one of us to play our own individual roles in keeping, first and foremost, ourselves safe and by extension those around us,” Mr Dames said before going into a Cabinet meeting. “It’s just a small few who continue to be counter to the law. The police and the COVID ambassadors have been doing a tremendous job. I hear from them every night, in having to go into communities and shut down crowded clubs and things of that nature.”
