Minister for Health and Social Development Honourable Carvin Malone has reported no active cases of COVID-19 and Cabinet’s decision to impose a new curfew from 12:00 midnight to 5:00 a.m.

Residents of the British Virgin Islands are to abide by a new restricted 7 days curfew from 8:00 p.m. to 5:00 a.m. daily.

Chair of the Joint Taskforce, Commissioner of Customs, Mr. Wade Smith clarified an inaccuracy reported by BVI Platinum News article tilted, Twin-Engine Fast Boat In High Sea Pursuit With Joint Patrol Team Reportedly Released.

I would like to provide an update on plans for further UK support that will strengthen the integrity of our borders and improve the security of the people of the British Virgin Islands.

The Joint Task Force will be receiving a donation of critical maritime security equipment today from the Governor’s Office in support of its work to protect the Territory’s borders.

Good day and God’s Blessings to everyone.   In the space of two weeks, we heard of two fatal shootings in our community. On Wednesday, September 2, Mr. George “Shawala” Burrows was shot in his home. On Thursday, September 10, Mr. Matthew Daly was shot in the Spring Ghut. In both instances, both men were pronounced dead at the scene.

Persons applying for curfew passes are advised that approved passes are issued only after a new Curfew Order is published in the Virgin Islands Official Gazette.

Good day to all,

Thank you for joining us this morning. I stand here with the Honourable Premier and Honourable Minister for Health to deliver an update on our COVID-19 response and for us to set out the next stage in our response.
