The Virgin Islands is currently experiencing an outbreak of COVID-19. 

I bring Greetings to everyone in the Virgin Islands, the Region and the World.

Good day and GOD’s blessings to all in the Virgin Islands.

This morning, July 1, 2021, the fifth named storm of the year, Tropical Storm Elsa, formed east of the Caribbean.

Good day to all.

Hurricane season is upon us, with the fifth named storm of 2021 - Tropical Storm Elsa, which developed in the early hours of July 1.

I am speaking to you today as I am concerned, concerned to hear of the further increased cases of COVID-19 here in the BVI.

Let me first extend greetings to everyone in the British Virgin Islands, the Region and to those tuning in by radio and other media platforms throughout the World. I am Carvin Malone and as Minister for Health and Social Development I wish to update you on the Territory’s COVID-19 status and response; the AstraZeneca vaccine rollout and Cabinet’s decisions of Wednesday, June 23rd, 2021. 

First let me say Good day and God’s Blessings to everyone.  I recognise the protocols already established and I thank my honourable colleagues for being here with me also today and the hard working staff of the Ministry of Finance.  God continues to lead the BVI to greener pastures.

The Government took office on February 25, 2019, committed to change and renewal including of governance in the Virgin Islands. It won an overwhelming mandate for that change, gaining the support of 46.6% of the voting electorate compared to the 28.2% of its nearest rival, the outgoing NDP government.

Good day and God's Blessings to all the people of the Virgin Islands and beyond.

Through the Grace of Almighty God, our humble Virgin Islands continues to weather the COVID-19 storm.

His Excellency, the Governor Mr. John J. Rankin, CMG, chaired the Meeting held on 9th June, 2021, which was held at the Financial Services Commission’s Conference Room.
