Today, he met with the Labour Minister to thank the government and the Ministry of Labour for helping to ensure that almost 100 percent of the company’s employees have been vaccinated against COVID-19. In addition to creating safety for employees and their families, this will create immunity among workers in the workplace to build confidence for investors and its consumer market. This will create economic stability for the government and enable businesses to move forward.
