"There are things that could have been done differently" - Holness on COVID
Sep 2nd, 2021 | Category: Special Reports | 2:55#JamaicaGleaner #COVID #Vaccine #AndrewHolness SEPTEMBER 2, 2021: Fear of insurrection from the public may have been the catalyst behind the Andrew Holness administration’s decision to reopen various sectors of the country, exposing it to an unprecedented spike in COVID-19 infections. Wednesday, September 1, during a tour of St Thomas - one of the two most vaccine-resistant parishes in Jamaica - while mounting a defence of his management of the pandemic crisis, Holness conceded that his Government could have taken tougher, unpopular decisions. “I’m human. I’m not infallible. Errors can be made, and I’m certain that upon reflection, there are things that could have been done differently."
