The impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic on the entertainment industry has been nothing short of cataclysmic, from cancelled events, festivals, and carnivals to closed nightclubs and studios. Repercussions are being felt at every level of the entertainment industry with creators bearing the brunt of it.  Having undertaken an Impact Assessment, the Board  and Executive of the Copyright Music Organisation of Trinidad and Tobago (COTT) held a special sitting, where the decision was taken to provide members with a care package, aimed at providing some measure of assistance during this difficult time. The initiative will cost a little over three million dollars ($3,000,000.00) and is set to be dispensed by Friday May 15, 2020.
