Min of Health continues to discourage mass gatherings

Dominica’s Minister for Health Dr. Irving Mc Intyre says mass gatherings continue to be discouraged by his Ministry.

Dr. Mc Intyre told State Radio despite a significant ease on social restrictions, large events are discouraged due to the risk of Coronavirus infections.

This, as a number of persons here have raised questions regarding the staging of annual events later this year.

Mc Intyre said earlier this week that a decision to host Dominica’s largest annual festival, the World Creole Music Festival (WCMF) will be taken soon, but the Ministry of Health is not in favor of staging the festival this year.
