National Security Minister, Dr. Horace Chang has indicated that persons who’ve left St.Catherine when they should’ve remained in the parish could face prosecution.
Several people took to social media last evening to lament that a number of residents left St. Catherine shortly after the government’s announcement of a lock down of the parish.
He also says the management of the BPO entity, Alorica, will be prosecuted if the company was found to be in breach of the protocols issued by the authorities.
The Prime Minister last evening announced that he has asked the Commissioner of Police, Antony Anderson and the Health Department to thoroughly investigate the circumstances under which the outbreak took place and to pursue charges.
Meanwhile, Dr. Chang says the government did opt for a complete lockdown of the country at this time because of the need to keep the economy going.
