Attorney General Carl Bethel released the following statement a short while ago: “The attorney general affirms that sanitation workers and sanitation companies are and remain essential services under the (COIVD 19) 2 Order 2020.
As such, those sanitation companies contracted to sanitize banks and other institutions are free to perform their duties or sanitational services as and when required for the safety of employees and the general public. Any words attributed to the prime minister were intended to refer to cleaners of roadsides and verges.
