Noting that we “live in a democratic society, which entitles all Bermudians the right to have our voices heard,” Premier David Burt said that now is the “time for the entire community to work together and unite to do what is necessary to move Bermuda beyond this pandemic.”
When asked for any comment in relation to today’s car rally, Premier David Burt said, “We live in a democratic society, which entitles all Bermudians the right to have our voices heard. Sadly, there are less collective voices in Bermuda due to persons who have not survived Covid-19 with 16 residents passing away in April.
“The restrictions contained in Public Health Regulations have been very effective in reducing local transmission of the virus; however, there remains a risk of new imported variants setting back our collective progress.
“Supervised quarantine has been very effective in many countries that have eliminated local transmission, and those countries have returned to normal holding large events without masks. This is not a time for individual agendas but a time for the entire community to work together and unite to do what is necessary to move Bermuda beyond this pandemic.
“The Government has laid out a plan for Bermuda to return to normal, and we’re confident that the overwhelming majority of Bermudians support the difficult decisions that must be taken for our schools and businesses to reopen safely once and for all.”
