Through Legal Notice 111, vulnerable persons are ordered to
remain segregated in their residence other than for medical, food
or essential personal errands. Vulnerable persons include those
aged sixty-five or over, pregnant women and persons suffering from
listed chronic illnesses and, or medical conditions. An exception
was made for those occupying a public office or essential headship
positions, Members of Parliament and health sector
employees/professionals.
In case of vulnerable persons in employment, unless they qualify
for one of the financial measures announced last week particularly
the wage supplement and the social measures, it is not yet clear
whether they / their employers will be entitled to any form of aid
for their inability to attend to their work duties.
