    "content": "Ministry of Health is this: Who is ensuring that the guidelines are adhered to? This is why, as the Departmental Committee on Health, we were very concerned. We called the Cabinet Secretary last week and he did not come! Today, he did not come. Although there was relaxation, people have not gone according to the relaxation measures. They just dropped everything. There were rules on how to handle funerals and churches. So, what is the issue here? I want to take this opportunity - and I hope somebody from the Ministry is listening… The Ministry is letting us down because people are even asking: “What do I do if I test positive? Do I go to work?” Wherever you are being tested, if you are positive, it should be clear. You are told: “Now that you are positive, you are supposed to do one, two three.” So, I think it is important that the Ministry goes back and gives guidance and the other Arms of Government should enforce. There was just relaxation. We did not drop everything. We should have adhered to the rules and the guidelines in the new relaxation. Even in restaurants, there were rules that were supposed to be adhered to. The workers were supposed to be tested and so forth. Nothing like that is happening! So, the problem has been that the Ministry has relaxed on its guidance and the Government on its enforcement. Thank you, Hon. Speaker."
