Good morning, fellow Virgin Islanders, residents and friends. As the Minister of Health and Social Development it is an honor for me to be here today to celebrate the successful collaboration between BVI and the Pan American Health Organization (or PAHO), with financing support from the Caribbean Development Bank.

For the last several days, many on these islands have followed the progress of tropical disturbances taking shape in the Atlantic. Government has remained vigilant, working with our partners at the Antigua and Barbuda Meteorological Service to track what we are now calling Tropical Depression 13, located less than 1,000 miles east-southeast of the Virgin Islands. 

Ladies and gentlemen, good evening. Forty-eight (48) hours ago I made announcements of two additional COVID-19 cases that were detected while in government sponsored quarantined facilities.

Fellow Virgin Islanders, residents and friends, good evening. On Friday the 14th of August we brought you a comprehensive update on the COVID-19 situation in the Territory and the recent decisions that were taken by Cabinet to further ease internal restrictions and transition towards the second phase of the controlled border reopening plan.

As we enter this new week, it feels as though we are also entering a new chapter in BVI’s response to COVID-19. I would like to take this opportunity to update and reassure the public on what to expect over the coming weeks.

Honourable Premier, Ladies and Gentlemen, a very pleasant good evening to everyone. Cabinet has met over the past two days and again tonight I am pleased to be joined by the Premier who will disclose the many decisions and initiatives debated and approved.

I say good day and God’s Blessings to all the people of the Virgin Islands. We thank the Lord our God for his continued blessings in our lives and in our Territory.

Today, Friday, August 14 is the State Funeral of the Late Former Prime Minister of Barbados - The Rt. Honourable Owen Seymour Arthur

Good morning and God’s abundant blessings to all the people of the Virgin Islands. I’d like to recognise the protocol already established. Today, we have a special guest with us Mr. Carlyiek Benjamin the shadow Minister to the Minister for Transportation so let’s gave him a round of applause. It’s a leadership initiative.
