Dear Editor,<\/p>\n

It has been some time now since standpipes were erected in Roseau together with a promise of attendants, soap and towels so that persons could wash their hands frequently.\u00a0This was one of the government’s initiatives to help curb the spread of COVID-19.<\/p>\n

I note, however, that to date, there are only the pipes; neither soap nor attendants. In fact, just this morning, a vagrant was seen washing something at the standpipe located at the corner of Kennedy Avenue and Independence Street.<\/p>\n

I think the authorities should provide clarification on this at the soonest.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Covid concerned.<\/p>\n
