People of the Virgin Islands. Good day.  This is Governor Jaspert for my daily address to you.

The new food handler’s session scheduled for Thursday, August 31 will be conducted at the Central Administration Complex in conference room number 10 located on the western wing of the complex. 

Residents of the Virgin Islands are urged to conduct weekly surveillance of their premises and support efforts to minimise mosquito breeding.

The public is asked to note that the Territory-wide fogging campaign which started on Beef Island continues from the Queen Elizabeth Bridge through Pasea Estate and is expected to be completed by Monday, August 28.  

My fellow Virgin Islands residents, I would first like to take this opportunity to thank Jehovah for his mercies during the recent heavy rains, which caused severe flooding that resulted in the damage of property and infrastructure in our Territory.  It could have been much worse, and we are thankful that here was no loss of life.

The Public Is Advised To Be Cautious During The Partial Solar Eclipse That will occur today between 1:00 to 4:00 p.m.

Officers from the Environmental Health Division are conducting spot checks of supermarkets and restaurants to ensure food safety following the recent floods.

The public is advised that food handler’s renewal clinic slated for tomorrow August 17, will be held at the Central Administration Complex at 9:00 a.m.

The public is notified that a Territory-wide fogging campaign will begin on Friday, August 18 in the following areas.
