Guyanese essential workers praised for their sacrifices on Labour Day

President David Granger saluted Guyana’s essential workers in the health, security and public services battling the novel coronavirus in his Labour Day message.

Granger said these professionals are heroes and the Government and people of Guyana are thankful for their service and sacrifice.

Granger said, “A grateful nation salutes the efforts of workers who are playing their part to keep our country safe. Your Government is not unmindful of the difficulties caused by the social limitations which have been enforced since the outbreak of the disease in Guyana. The situation would have been worse without those measures which are necessary to protect us all.”

“Workers and servicemen should be confident that, together, we can overcome the perils of this pandemic. We urge everyone to contribute to the effort so that the country could be restored to normalcy as soon as possible.”

He said the Government will continue to work assiduously to restore the country to normalcy.
