Businesses have no intention to cover the cost of required COVID-19 testing for employees at this time.

This is according to Chairman of the Barbados Private Sector Association Ed Clarke as he addressed concerns surrounding the accumulated cost of bi-monthly PCR testing, raised at a recent town hall meeting.
