PAULETTA WELSH MCDONALD:

In terms of the lockdown, in terms of losses, as a farmer, we have perishable items which we were not able to get out during the lockdown period, so we suffered losses. Also, in terms of workers commuting to and from work, we suffered losses because we had to pick them up and drop them off because most of the time they don’t have motor vehicles available to come to your location.

It becomes time consuming. [Adding back] Monday and Tuesday is a good idea, also. I think with the limited time, you have more people bundling … because people are rushing to get in their vital needs.
