Lockdowns drown Easter hopes for fisherfolk
Mar 29th, 2021 | Category: Special Reports | 2:33#Gleaner #Curfew #COVID MARCH 29, 2021: With tens of thousands of workers pushed on to the unemployment line by COVID-19’s economic crunch, vendors at the Princess Market in Spanish Town said that their already dwindling sales will be further eroded by the weekend lockdowns. The lockdowns, which will run from March 26 to April 12, are geared at slowing the spread of COVID-19. The 40-day Lent and Easter periods are the holiest seasons on the Christian calendar, during which many observants limit comfort food, curb the appetite for meat, and consume more fish. But fisherfolk expect fewer consumers to take the bait this year.
