Thank you for joining me for this briefing today and for complying with the social distancing measures we have put in place to keep us all safe whilst we’re here. I realise it’s been a while since we last met face to face, but I am really glad that we are able to safely meet to have these conversations.

A pleasant good afternoon and God’s Blessings to the people of the Virgin Islands.

We continue as a Territory to engage in preventative measures as we continue to balance the safety with the rebooting and reawakening of our economy in a phased basis and under the ‘New Regular’ living and working with COVID-19.

My dear Virgin Islanders, residents and visitors, a pleasant good day and God’s blessings to all the people of the Virgin Islands.

STATEMENT FROM THE HONOURABLE PREMIER AND MINISTER OF FINANCE
ANDREW A. FAHIE
ON THE UPCOMING ATLANTIC HURRICANE SEASON

May 13, 2020

I say GOD’S BLESSINGS and good day to you, the people of the Virgin Islands. 

For the last few weeks, this Territory has shown remarkable strength and unity in the effort to stop the spread of COVID-19.

International Nurses Day is celebrated each year on May 12 in remembrance of the birthday of Florence Nightingale. This year 2020 culminates the 200^th anniversary of her birth.

The only thing greater than a mother’s love is the love of God, our creator.  One of the greatest indications of God’s love is that he gave us mothers.  I thank God for mothers.  

Good day everyone.

You would have heard the Premier and Minister of Finance Honourable Andrew A. Fahie announced that Cabinet decided that beaches will reopen from 6:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. effective May 10, 2020 for the purposes of exercise and therapy.
