  • Key Points from Prime Minister Dr. Keith Rowley’s Press Conference - Monday July 13th 2020
    - Dr. Rowley opened the Press Conference by addressing the plight of nationals wishing to return home. He indicated that there are perhaps 8-10,000 citizens who travelled abroad before March 22 and are still outside of Trinidad and Tobago at this time. But he also stated that as of the 11th of July, 4515 Exemptions have been granted.
    - Prime Minister Rowley stated that Government has kept over 1000 workers at three state-owned hotels, gainfully employed since the Pandemic struck that cost taxpayer $12 Million a month.
    - Dr. Rowley also indicated that these hotels were deliberately left out of the Covid-19 response so that they would be able to return to normal business as speedily as possible.
    - The Prime Minister also spoke on the issue of the CPL tournament being hosted in T&T and declared that Government will NOT be paying for arrangements being made for the CPL Players and staff.
    - Prime Minister Rowley emphatically stated that this country’s borders will remain CLOSED as long as an open border remains a threat to the people of T&T.
    - Dr. Rowley empathized with the nationals currently stranded in other countries and stated that “Nobody is being abandoned. No one's rights are being trampled. We will bring everyone back according to the capacity of the parallel Health care system that we set up.”
    - The Prime Minister revealed that some person or persons have impersonated the Chief Medical Officer and wrote to the CPL in an effort to put a wrench in preparations for the event.
    - Prime Minister Rowley when answering a question indicated that there are no provisions in the law for nationals abroad to vote in an election he went on to say that changing this would require a change in the laws.
    - Finally, Dr. Rowley stated that Trinidad and Tobago is not involved in the operations of LIAT and have no say in the future of the airline

    People in Trinidad Tobago are very blessed. I reside in NEW YORK and COVID-19 was very devastating here. There were mass graves and the crematoria were backed up because they were unable to handle the numerous bodies needed to be cremated. We have flattened the curve because of everyone working together but anyone coming to New York from Florida or any other state will be quarantine for 14 days and Trindad must continue to do the same. If not, you guys will be devastated. Stay strong stay safe Trinidad and Tobago. Love you guys.

      If you reside in NYC you would know that our numbers went down. Governor Cuomo is doing a great job. NYC is the only state so far that has it together. You should reside somewhere else since you have no idea what is going on.

Every time you open and let people in, they bring the virus. God bless you and your family.

      Doreen Dove, behave yourself. If Prime Minister Dr Rowley was reckless and did not take the measures he did, you would have been the first, if you were still alive, to be crying buckets of tears because little trinidad may have been no more. You fall under the category "Some trinis really dont know what they want" even in a crisis.
