 Coming to you from RGIS Studios, I am Anicia Antoine and this is your midday news brief. Minister with responsibility for physical planning, Honourable Herod Stanislaus, has reiterated government's commitment to guarding the right of citizens to access all beaches on the island. The assurance comes amid public concern regarding the proposed Carbot Saint Lucia Development at Capestate. The Cabinet of Ministers has approved the lease of the Queen's Chain, adjacent to the development site for 75 years. However, Honourable Stanislaus says the approval does not barse inclusions from accessing the Casa Bar Beach. Leasing up the Queen's Chain, the Minister says, has been practiced for decades. The physical planning minister says the government is aware and sensitive to the concerns surrounding the continued operation of Marjory's Restaurant, which has been a staple at the Casa Bar Beach for more than 20 years. Carbot Saint Lucia has submitted a master plan to the Department of Physical Planning. Honourable Stanislaus says the Department is processing the proposals in phases. Upon final approval, the Minister stressed there will be no restricted access to the Casa Bar Beach. Top achievers from the constituency of Grosely have been awarded for their successes.

With the rapid onset of the rainy season, the Ministry of Health and Wellness continues to encourage individuals to maintain health and safety measures to prevent the local transmission of dengue fever. Dengue fever is one of the most common vector-borne viral diseases affecting humans and is transmitted through the bites of the female Aedes aegypti mosquito and through a lesser extent the Aedes albopictus. For serotypes of dengue exist, however, persons receive lifelong immunity against a serotype once infected with it. Only serotypes to unfree have been recorded to date in St. Lucia, with the majority of cases being in children. Householders and property owners are encouraged to inspect their household at least twice a week in an effort to contain the Aedes aegypti mosquito population. Persons are also advised to avoid the indiscriminate dumping of garbage, which also serves as breeding ground for the mosquito. This has been your Midday News Brief. Thank you for watching.
