GTT announced this afternoon that it will close all of its stores in Guyana from Wednesday, April 1 until further notice.

The move is part of the company’s continuing efforts to ensure the health and safety of customers and staff amidst the growing threat from the Covid-19 pandemic.

The company’s Chief Executive Officer Justin Nedd said measures were being put in place to ensure that staff would be retained during the closure, and every effort would be made to accommodate customers through alternative bill payment and customer service options, including the use of the company’s Mobile Money Guyana (MMG) app. 

He said the decision to temporarily close all GTT stores had been taken in support of the social distancing protocol recommended by global health authorities as the best way to slow the spread and protect people from Covid-19.

“GTT’s responsibility and our commitment to customers and staff, mandates us to take this threat very seriously, and to take every action to protect our customers and staff, and Guyana as a whole. Our closure supports the global call for social distancing, and we are encouraging customers to make use of the digital and online options for transactions. There are 220 MMG agents located nationwide; access the one nearest to you as need be, to limit movement,” Nedd said. 

The CEO said safeguarding the jobs of GTT staff while ensuring a continued high level of service to customers was a key aspect of the Company’s strategic Covid-19 response. 

“GTT’s approach to Covid-19 is that we are in this together. We will therefore support our staff through repurposing or redeployment as needed, and we want to ensure that our customers are protected, and not overly inconvenienced by these measures,” he said.
