Tufton said that many decisions were taken on the “spur of the moment because lives were on the line”, but he acknowledged that the findings were a learning process. “In the case of the hotels and the accommodation, we can recall the context of persons on ships waiting to be taken off, so there were a lot of issues,” Tufton said during a Gleaner interview Wednesday.
