Mother & Daughter Held In Gros Islet For COVID-19 Violations

Police called the Fire Service Tuesday to take a mother and daughter to a state COVID-19 quarantine facility.

This after reports that the mother, 75, and the daughter, 47, broke COVID-19 protocols.

Emergency officials told St Lucia Times that the incident occurred at Massade, Gros Islet.

Eyewitnesses reported seeing fire service personnel in protective suits in the community.

It comes against the backdrop of a sharp increase in COVID-19 cases locally.

Earlier this week, police summoned the fire service to take a man in his eighties to a state run quarantine facility.

As a result, emergency personnel went to a home in Castries where they escorted the elderly man to the institution.
