• Appeals to every citizen to be a responsible and sensible citizen and contribute toward saving lives in TT.
* OJTs will be moved into the Social Development Ministry to help organize response and reaction to the most vulnerable.
• The Finance Minister has made $157m available to the Ministry of Health to help build more capacity to deal with COVID-19 crisis, especially among several Regional Health Authorities.
