~Galleryyuhself~ Seen on Facebook...So I’d to go to Mt Hope this morning. And this is the EWMSC response. The tents are for screening of patients, who are then sent in 5 at a time to their respective clinics inside.The pharmacy tent is for the collection of meds. This is done on a scheduled basis. There is also a “Cough, Fever, Cold” check point at Mt Hope and the St Joseph clinic to the front.

Flattening the Curve

In epidemiology, the idea of slowing a virus' spread so that fewer people need to seek treatment at any given time is known as "flattening the curve."

~Galleryyuhself~ Recently the popular food chain El Pecos came under fire for the way it used its pivot away from selling only fast food. The grill set up a market environment  as an approach to meet the covid-19 restrictions. 

Galleryyuhself looked into what El Pecos has said and is doing to be able to keep their customers happy and to comply with the law. As businesses in Trinidad and Tobago innovate to stay afloat and thrive in an environment where rules are changing all the time, Galleryyuhself shall bring them to your attention.

From the Facebook page of El Pecos (July 10th 2021)

El Pecos on the Grill Limited and El Pecos on the Go Market Limited, fully supports all efforts to flatten the COVID 19 curve and keep the people of Trinidad and Tobago safe. 

We have complied fully with all regulations in place from the onset of the COVID 19 pandemic. There has been a lot of social media attention on the opening of our El Pecos on the Go Market. 

We have consulted with and had the benefit of legal advice and based on that advice we noted that:

1. The law clearly permits the operation of supermarkets, groceries, markets, green grocers, bakeries provided that not more than 50% of the establishments ordinary retail capacity is surpassed at any time during operation hours;

2. We opened our doors as a market place in full compliance with the law, all the COVID 19 regulations and observing all protocols to keep our staff and customers safe;

3. The fact that several other institutions such as gas stations, pharmacies, supermarkets, well known food retailers and market places have been allowed to continue selling pre-packaged to go meals;

4. We incorporated a separate company for El Pecos on the Go Market Limited for the market place business to be in compliance with the COVID 19 Legal Notice regulations; 

5. We have reconfigured to establish a market place in compliance with sanitation protocols that are in use in other institutions that have been permitted to remain open and sell pre-packaged food; and

6. El Pecos on the Grill was one of the earliest companies that gave customers the convenience of selecting their food and paying by the pound. The company recognizes that customer demands have evolved and changed, and El Pecos on the Go Market Limited has created a new model to respond to these customer expectations in a safe and secure environment.

We have fully co-operated with the authorities who have now twice visited our premises. The authorities have not closed us down. The Health Authority, has requested that we obtain further requirements from them within 14 days. 

To demonstrate our commitment to continue working with the authorities toward a COVID free Trinidad and Tobago, we have chosen to close our market place operations until we understand what further requirements are now needed by the Health Authority. 

We are confident that all the relevant authorities will act in a manner that is fair and does not discriminate against El Pecos.

We want to thank our loyal customers for their continued support and we look forward to serving you shortly.
