Tobago Business Chamber chairman Martin George.
The Tobago Business Chamber has questioned the Government’s rationale for sanctioning Carnival safe-zone events in light of the “record numbers of covid19 cases” and the apparent lack of interest among bandleaders, promoters and performers.
On Wednesday, after months of consultation with stakeholders, the Government gave the go-ahead for strictly concert-type events.
The Ministry of Culture, Tourism and the Arts said these include soca and calypso concerts, calypso tents, soca, calypso and extempo and chutney competitions, steelband concerts, Carnival king and queen shows and Carnival theatre.
The ministry made it clear that no fetes/parties will be permitted, owing to the increased spread of covid19.

The pandemic is still real and active. Trinidad & Tobago should reconsider any concept of carnival activities during this time.

Ah think it have at least one other person, Mr. PEA of PEP.
In my opinion, the manner in which he expresses his reasoning makes him a very likeable and enduring gentleman.
