During a COVID-19 update held at Ilaro Court last night, Attorney General Dale Marshall sought to clear the air on the curfew period, which he stressed begins on the first second of February 3 and ends on the last second of February 17. The Attorney General also made it clear that while the last curfew technically ends January 31, that does not suggest there will be a two-day free- for-all until the new directive comes into effect on February 2. “Let me put to rest the notion that on February 1 and 2 there is going to be the Wild, Wild West in Barbados simply because people believe that there is going to be no effective directive. That has never been the case and it is not going to be the case. There are certain reasons why we chose to implement those particular measures from February 3, but the current directive, all of the regime, under which Barbadians are currently living and existing, these directives are going to continue for February 1 and February 2. “So for those people who seem to think that on February 1 and 2 there are no Attorney General, Dale Marshall, speaking during a COVID-19 update held at Ilaro Court last night.

Initiated and managed by the local residents, CRM has been on the air on frequency modulation (FM) band serving 800,000 potential listeners in the region since 2000. Triangulating in-depth interviews, observations and an audience survey as methods, this research explores the nature and extent of the local residents’ participation in the communication process. The station, operating with a wide participation from its community members, has not only been successful in providing them with an access to much needed information and entertainment but has also, in fact, proved to be an important avenue for the local population to express their opinions and views as well as exchange feelings. An audience survey, conducted in January 2004, revealed that 80.8 percentage of the local respondents listen to their community radio station for information and entertainment.
