Four members from the Grenada Ports Authority (GPA) staff have been asked to remain at home pending evaluation of their COVID-19 status.
This is due to their possible contact with an individual who’s confirmed to be infected with the Virus.
A release from the ports authority says it’s important that checks are being done, out of an abundance of caution.
The report of a member of the Port Security detail, who’s been placed in isolation following confirmation of a positive COVID-19 test, pertains to an individual that has been on leave from their GPA function, and, who has not had contact with anyone in the Port environment within the past two weeks.
Recent events brings forward a reminder that the risk of COVID-19 infection is high, and the GPA encourages all members of the public to practice the COVID-19 protocols issued by the Ministry of Health and to vaccinate against COVID-19.
The Grenada Ports Authority says it’s continuing to seek ways to tighten its internal controls, and solicits the help of all persons and stakeholders that interface with the Authority to ensure strict adherence to the national protocols, with respect to COVID-19 mitigation.
The GPA says it reserves the right to deny entry to anyone who is non-compliant and assures the public of their unwavering commitment to the efficient operation of the nations Port facilities.
The GPA noted, though, that all of its offices are open and are operating normally, with the full range of services available to customers.
