“My job isn’t to make everyone’s lives miserable, it’s to keep everyone safe,” Premier David Burt said, adding that “your alcohol & nicotine supply lines are secure.”
Noting that he himself likes a drink “every now and then,” the Premier added that “you will be able to get your alcohol, beer, and wine.”
Premier Burt tweeted, saying, “Good Afternoon. my day has been spent increasing Bermuda’s Covid-19 testing capacity. Those who know me well, know I like a drink every now & then. You do not have to run out to clear the shelves at the liquor store. As I stated yesterday we will be allowing restocking of these items.
“Alcohol supply was not open during this shelter in place, as we wanted to keep people home. Now that we’re extending it for 2 weeks we are going to have to make adjustments. Alchohol, laundromats, hardware and other items to ensure that the next 2 weeks are bearable.
“So next week, you will be able to get your alcohol, beer, and wine. My job isn’t to make everyone’s lives miserable, it’s to keep everyone safe! We will amend the regulations that make sense.
” Long story short, your alcohol & nicotine supply lines are secure. Premier isn’t cutting off his own swizzle supply.”
