By now we are all aware that the World Health Organization (WHO) has declared there is a global pandemic—the COVID-19. This form of the Coronavirus is affecting lives, communities, and the world economy.

Yesterday, you heard that in Cabinet we took further measures to secure our borders, safeguard our children and elderly, and some of the other ways the Virgin Islands Government is aggressively working to prevent the Coronavirus COVID-19 from reaching the Territory. 

Office of the Deputy Governor Circular No. 3 of 2020 which refers to the Public Service Continuity Of Operations (In light of the Coronavirus Pandemic).

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.
