 Fellow St. Lucians, in a previous statement issued on Wednesday, September 1st, I informed you of the government's intention to revisit the protocols as they relate to bars and restaurants. After discussions and dialogue with the Common Center, the following recommendations proposed for adjustments were approved. The adjusted measures will start from Friday, September 3rd, 2021 to Tuesday, September 14th, 2021. The adjustments to the COVID-19 protocols are as follows. 1. Suspension of sale and disposal of intoxicating liquor at bars, rum shops and restaurants. 2. Sale and disposal of intoxicating liquor from a supermarket, gas station or wholesaler with a valid liquor license will be permitted. No consumption of intoxicating liquor will be permitted on license premises. 3. Suspension of dine-in services at restaurants and food establishments. Take away or grab and go, and delivery services will be permitted. 4. Recreational social activities at hotels will be permitted on property during curfew hours provided that such activities take place on property. Water sports and other water-related activities such as boat rides, skiing etc. must be suspended during the 24-hour weekend curfew from Saturday 4 p.m. to Monday 4 a.m. 5. The above measures, along with the other current protocols, meaning curfew hours and other restrictions, shall remain in effect for the period commencing Friday, September 3rd until Tuesday, September 14th, 2021. I urge all fellow St. Louisians and visitors to adhere to the protocols. I urge everyone to join each other in this COVID-19 fight. I urge you to remain safe. I thank you.
