In January, 2020 the World Health Organization (WHO) declared the outbreak of the new Coronavirus disease in Hubei Province, China to be a public health emergency of international concern.

Public Officers of the Virgin Islands, Many of you would be making final preparations within your departments and agencies to participate in the Caribe Wave exercise on March 19. In light of the ongoing COVID-19 Coronavirus outbreak around the world, we have decided that the exercise will no longer include an evacuation component.

The safety and wellbeing of our Virgin Islands people and residents are your Government's highest priority as we continue to monitor regional and international developments with respect to the Coronavirus (COVID-19), and to implement precautionary measures to prevent the virus from getting across our borders.

Following my statement last night on the response of the Government to COVID-19, this morning I chaired a special meeting of Cabinet.

Tenemos que cambiar algunos de nuestros comportamientos. 

Around the world, the Coronavirus COVID-19 continues to spread. While we do not have any confirmed cases in the Territory, Government has taken the approach that the detection, containment, mitigation and management of this Coronavirus remains a national priority.

His Excellency, the Acting Governor David D. Archer, Jr. chaired the Meeting held on 26th February, 2020, in the absence of Governor Augustus Jaspert, who was overseas on personal leave. 

My dear Virgin Islanders, residents and visitors, a pleasant good day and God’s blessings to you and yours. As this is your Premier of the Virgin Islands, Andrew A. Fahie.

As you are aware, the World Health Organization (WHO) has declared the COVID-19 Coronavirus a pandemic.

As the Government of the Virgin Islands continues to move the Virgin Islands forward in BVILOVE, we continue to work together with the Public Service and the people to transform the Territory into a leading regional economy by 2025 through Entrepreneurship, Innovation, Local and Foreign Investment.

Members of the House of Assembly, Fellow Virgin Islanders, Ladies and Gentlemen, Nominees of the Virgin Islands Youth Parliament, Presenters, Staff of the House of Assembly,  Good Morning.
