Prime Minister Gaston Browne has called for a bi-partisan approach to the fight against the novel coronavirus and reiterated an earlier statement that his Administration has no intention of shutting down its borders.
Browne, speaking in Parliament, said he wanted all stakeholders to “come together in optimistic solidarity to work together as a nation of one people with a common destiny to fight this threat”.
Antigua and Barbuda is among several Caribbean Community (Caricom) countries that have registered cases of the virus that has been “imported” into the region since all of the cases have been brought in by travellers mainly from Europe and the United States.
Browne told legislators that the best defence the court could have against the virus, which has killed more than 6,000 people worldwide, is to establish a united front, since more people will get infected here.
