Her Majesty the Queen’s Representative here has weighed in on the Social Welfare issue and how the current COVID-19 pandemic has impacted people’s lives and livelihoods.

There’s been much concern that several persons are finding it difficult to make ends meet and need some form of assistance.

Governor, His Excellency Andrew Pearce says he’ll throw his support behind a government request for an increase in the budget to help, once it is found that persons are genuinely finding it difficult to survive in the COVID situation.
