UPDATE (04/08/20): Kamla Persad-Bissessar is renewing her previous call for Prime Minister Keith Rowley to immediately cancel the CPL games as several players have now tested positive for COVID-19. See Persad-Bissessar’s latest statement below. PM ROWLEY— STOP ENDANGERING CITIZENS’ LIVES AND URGENTLY CANCEL CPL GAMES IN THE WAKE OF COVID-19 POSITIVE CASES AMONG PLAYERS! Political Leader of the United National Congress (UNC), Kamla Persad-Bissessar, is calling on Prime Minister Keith Rowley to immediately cancel this country’s hosting of the Caribbean Premier League (CPL) games in August. I am therefore calling on PM Rowley to immediately cancel the planned CPL games scheduled for mid-August in T&T. The Ministry of Sport and Youth Affairs announced on 9th July 2020 that Cabinet agreed to the hosting of the CPL T20 Tournament in Trinidad from 18th August to 12th September 2020 with strict adherence to the COVID-19 guidelines. Persad-Bissessar made the plea to Prime Minister Rowley via a post on her Facebook Page this morning (Wednesday 29th July 2020) in the wake of what she calls “new COVID-19 community spread!” She further notes, “In the last 24 hours, T&T recorded six new COVID-19 cases (15 in the past week). Businesses, schools and public offices throughout Trinidad have been forced to close due to COVID-19 exposure. People are panicking, especially since under the disastrous tenure of Health Minister Terrence Deyalsingh, our health sector has collapsed in every possible way!” See Persad-Bissessar’s full statement below: PM ROWLEY MUST CANCEL T&T’S HOSTING OF 2020 CPL GAMES NOW IN THE WAKE OF NEW COVID-19 COMMUNITY SPREAD!
