COVID-19 has had environmental, economic, and societal impacts across the world. 

Officials from the Ministry of Health and Social Development signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with Private Medical Practitioners to begin offering both doses of the COVID-19 AstraZeneca vaccine.

Residents who received their first dose of the AstraZeneca vaccine should prepare to schedule the second dose after April 22.

The “Go Live” of the BVI Health Services Authority’s new health information system is causing delays in persons receiving their COVID-19 test results.

The British Virgin Islands’ response to COVID-19 has been presented by the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) as a model for the Eastern Caribbean.

The Government of the Virgin Islands continues to encourage residents to be vaccinated against the COVID-19 as the Territory records 13 active cases of the virus.

Since the British Virgin Islands reopened for tourism on December 1, 2020, the Government of the Virgin Islands has paid the cost of Gold Seal certified ground and marine transportation for all arrivals,  to their Gold Seal approved accommodations on Day 0 as well as round trip transfers between their accommodations and the designated testing sites on Day 4.  

The British Virgin Islands received the second shipment of 12,000 doses of the AstraZeneca vaccine from the United Kingdom.

The British Virgin Islands (BVI) has updated the Association of Caribbean States (ACS) on the rollout of the Government’s COVID-19 vaccination programme at the regional organisation’s Inaugural Meeting of the ACS Multi-Stakeholder Task Force on COVID-19 held virtually on March 8.

A further 12,000 doses of vaccines are scheduled to be delivered to BVI on 17 March, as part of the UK’s continuing commitment to provide COVID-19 vaccines to the Overseas Territories.
