Only pharmacies, religious organizations- for the purposes of weddings and funerals- funeral homes and essential workers are allowed to operate between 5AM and 10AM over the weekend.

The clarification comes from the Trinidad and Tobago Police Service as a daytime curfew is in effect for both Saturday and Sunday.

All other activities, including the operations of supermarkets and mini-marts are not allowed- even outside of curfew hours.

“The TTPS is committed to ensuring that persons stay off the road unless it is necessary during this time, in order to minimise movement in keeping with the rationale for the State of Emergency, which is to reduce the impact of the Covid-19 virus on the population,” the police said.

Persons requiring emergency assistance during curfew hours are asked to contact the Operational Command Centre at the following hotline numbers: 480-2000/612 3876/684-5730/684-5076/684- 5035 and 684-5233.

For clarification on matters of what can and cannot be done during curfew hours and the State of Emergency, the TTPS urges citizens to contact the Covid-19 Legal Hotline at 74-COVID (742-6843).
