The government of Grenada is being called upon to help save the lives of public sector front line workers who are involved in fighting the COVID-19 pandemic.

The call is coming from the President of the Grenada Public Workers Union, Rachel Roberts.

She says employers must do their part in protecting the work force.

Last week it was announced that a frontline health care worker contracted the coronavirus.

The worker became the country’s 58^th confirmed case.

Ms. Roberts says her union will continue to lobby for better measures, which will protect workers.

But it’s not being left to the employers alone.

Ms. Roberts is insisting workers must do what is necessary for self-preservation.
