When the BVI borders were partially re-opened on June 2^nd 2020 to nationals and Belongers I reported that 157 persons had been swabbed and tested and that Case #8 had been reported positive just days prior. 

As a Territory, we have all been in the fight against COVID-19 together from late March to date, and we will continue to do so for the foreseeable future. The Trust and the Board recognises the value of its employees and their invaluable contributions to the operations of the Trust, especially in this time of uncertainty and constant change.

A pleasant good day and God’s Blessings to all Virgin Islanders and residents.  First let me thank our residents of the Virgin Islands for cooperating with the measures put in place due to this current curfew order.

Buen día y bendiciones de Dios para la gente de las Islas Vírgenes. Me presento ante ustedes como Ministro de Educación para informarles sobre el año escolar académico 2020-21.

Good day and God’s blessings to the people of the Virgin Islands.  I come before you as Minister of Education to give you an update on the 2020-21 academic school year.

Buenas tardes a todos,

Sé que los anuncios de que tenemos más casos de COVID-19, lo que significa que el Territorio ahora está clasificado con "grupos de casos", será de gran preocupación para todos. Se está realizando un seguimiento intensivo de contactos y más pruebas. Los kits de prueba, el equipo de laboratorio y la máquina de prueba rápida suministrados por el Reino Unido contribuyen a la velocidad a la que se puede hacer esto.

Good Afternoon All,

I know that the announcements that we have further cases of Covid-19 meaning the Territory is now classified as having ‘clusters of cases’ will be of great concern to everyone. Intensive contact tracing and further testing is underway. The test kits, lab equipment and rapid testing machine supplied by the UK are contributing to the speed at which this can be done.

Ladies and gentlemen, Good Evening. COVID-19 was declared a pandemic by the World Health Organization in mid-March 2020 and resultantly, the Government of the Virgin Islands took immediate and decisive measures to protect lives and livelihoods.

People of the Virgin Islands, good morning, and God’s blessings.

You would have seen the 11:00 a.m. update from the Department of Disaster Management, which stated that although showers and gusty winds continue around the Territory, the Tropical Storm Warning for the BVI has been lifted as Tropical Storm Laura moves away.

A pleasant good morning to all.

The centre of Tropical Storm Laura passed the Territory early this morning, and we can be grateful for the news that there are no reports of major damage.
