The Guyana Lands & Surveys Commission (GL&SC) has suspended all field inspections and surveys services until further notice.
This is in response to the agency’s plan to mitigate the spread of the Coronavirus Disease (COVID-19).
The GL&SC has also outlined the following measures:
– All staff who travel overseas or have been exposed to others who travelled overseas will have
to undergo mandatory quarantine as per WHO recommendations.
– A resource desk for clients to access information on preventative measures to avoid the
spread of the disease has been established.
– The Commission has increased cleaning and sanitizing activities at our office buildings
countrywide and added hand sanitizers at the desk of each staff as well as the front
entrances and at all cash registers.
– Public sinks with soap and disposable hand towels have also been set up at the Commission’s Head Office. Please note that mandatory sanitization of hands would be
required by all staff and visitors to the Commission.
– Staff rotation has commenced as per instructions of the Department of Public Service to reduce the level of person-to-person contact in offices and adhere to social distancing requirements.
– Clients are advised to make use of remote services through our hotline, website, email and Facebook page and should only visit the office to conduct essential business.
The Commission said that it will continue to closely follow the Ministry of Public Health and World Health Organisation’s guidelines and recommendations on the steps to take to help prevent the spread of the virus.
