In case you have been under a rock and have not yet heard the news, Trinidad and Tobago Carnival 2021 has officially been cancelled. Prime Minister Dr. Keith Rowley on Monday gave the clearest indication that his Administration is prepared to cancel carnival celebrations in Trinidad next year as the twin-island republic, like all other Caribbean countries, deals with the impact of the coronavirus (COVID-19) that has so far killed 72 people there and infected 4,362 others.
