Managing Covid-19 in the Trinidad and Tobago Prison Service

Now that Covid-19 is behind prison walls, all measures implemented have been reinforced with the critical focus on management and containment. We continue to be fully engaged with health and safety professionals who play an important role in our decision making process.

Strong emphasis has been placed on members of staff to not report for duty as they are in contact with members of the external community. They are advised to inform their immediate supervisor via phone if they are feeling unwell or have been in contact with someone with the virus, and seek medical attention at nearest health facility.

As we seek to assure members of the public that all is being done within our power to contain the spread, we highlight some of additional measures undertaken. Relevant updates would be published as deemed necessary.
