All quiet on lockdown front, say police

Day one of the “National Pause” was a quiet one, police reported Wednesday.

According to police public relations officer, Acting Inspector Rodney Inniss, there were no reported incidences.

Wednesday marked the start of a two-week lockdown to combat the spread of COVID-19 during which only businesses deemed to be essential will be allowed to open.

A dusk-to-dawn curfew has also come into effect and Barbadians are being asked to stay at home.

“I have not spoken to all of the divisional commanders and divisions to hear any adverse reports but I haven’t heard of any,” he told Barbados TODAY in an interview just after 7 p.m. tonight.

“It was relatively quiet today. Traffic wise certainly in Bridgetown where I work it was very quiet and I didn’t have any adverse reports or any serious reports for the day so I would say it was quite a quiet day and hopefully we will have many more.”

Inspector Inniss urged Barbadians to continue to adhere to the stipulations of the two-week lockdown and to continue to adhere to the COVID-19 protocols.

“We want persons to keep safe and we hope the public understands the rationale behind the reduced hours for the so-called lockdown and that we achieve what we really need to achieve by being our brother’s keeper…The bottom line is to keep safe,” Inspector Inniss said. (RB)
