'We cannot allow lawless re-entry' of people into VI - Premier Fahie
"We are not going to compromise safety neither for who been here already nor those who are going to be coming in, its a tight rope walk but we not going to compromise it," Hon Fahie told the press.
Residents complied to strategies - Premier Fahie
"The people who have been here in the Virgin Islands during this time have been more than co-operative, so we cannot have persons here being asked to do so many things, 16 curfew orders... and they have complied to all," he said.
The Premier also noted that as a result of majority compliance to the COVID-19 pandemic strategies in the Virgin Islands, security did not have to be called in via military support from the UK or any other forms of external enforcement for the people.
"We cannot now allow a lawless re-entry of our people into the Territory, after asking those of our people who are here to comply and they complied gracefully."
Protocols key to COVID-19 fight
According to the Leader of Government Business, it is also important that the Territory does not lose sight of the fact that COVID-19 is an invisible enemy and that protocols will be key in the fight.
"We are making sure that whatever protocols need to be put in place we ourselves could question, test them and see if there are any loop-holes as much as is humanly possible to see, that is what we are doing right now."
He reiterated that when re-entry to the VI eventually becomes a reality in this COVID-19 era, mandatory quarantine for 14-days will be a requirement.
