VIDEO MAKING ROUNDS ON SOCIAL MEDIA ABOUT A TOTAL LOCK-DOWN IS FAKE NEWS & THE WORK OF MISCHIEF-MAKERS
Basseterre, St. Kitts, June 4, 2021(SKNIS): An old video making its rounds on social media of Prime Minister Dr. The Hon. Timothy Harris announcing a total lock-down of the country and old curfew times is the work of mischief-makers and is solely intended to mislead the general public.
Prime Minister Harris has made no recent announcement of a curfew in place from 7 pm Friday night to 6 am Saturday Morning and nore-introduction of a total lock-down.
Statutory Rules and Orders (SR&O) Number 15 of 2021 of the Public Health (Restriction of Movement) Regulations, 2021 states:
