22 nationals of SVG stuck in VI return home
The return of the Vincentians was facilitated by the Ralph E. Gonsalves Government with support from the Government of the Virgin Islands.
The 22 persons landed at the Argyle International Airport (AIA) and were welcomed by Chief Medical Officer (CMO), Dr Simone Keizer-Beache, among other health professionals, who walked them through registration and health checks.
According to the CMO, they had information on these persons prior to arrival in Saint Vincent and the Grenadines.
“We had information on them. We required that they submitted their names, their passport numbers to verify they are Vincentians and then we went through a process of determining whether or not their homes were appropriate for quarantine, that you have a bedroom and bathroom, preferably to yourself,” Dr Keizer-Beache said.
Quarantine
SVG Minister of Health Robert Theodore Luke Vincent Browne, speaking during a press conference on May 7, 2020, said 18 from the group were able to self-quarantine while the other four are under quarantine at a public facility.
Minister Browne stated the government is also working hard to facilitate the safe return home of Vincentian crew members on cruise ships.
He added a significant number of sailors from cruise ships are expected to be home at the end of the month and assured protocols are in place.
St Vincent and the Grenadines currently has eight active COVID-19 cases.

And when the Premier Fahue look after Virgin islanders a lot of you expats b*t*h and have a lot to say .
I hope m***n wi*e was one of the 22 persons
person" attempted to drive it out and they were told by a Native that the animal, a dog, has more rights in the territory than they. I need not say more. On the other hand, I have seen BV Islanders who would give of their last to 'Island people" but these are the special few. In the end, one should always count the cost when moving to this Island. It is better to" leave them with their money, band your belly and die with dignity'' in your own country.
1. Caribs never inhabited the BVI.
2. The Tainos were all killed off by the Europeans. There is none in the BVI today.
Some people will change people’s history just to seem relevant, in order to stay in someone else’s nation. The power of the US Dollar!
Let’s not complain that they left better for us
Them ready to run home u******ful people but hey that’s what we locals wanted anyways.
Less mu****s and cutting th***ts now. Thank you st Vincent prime minister
the same expats don't even like BVI!!
Some are just here to make their money to better them self and leave and they proudly advertised it!!
so whats the big deal now?
White person not ignorant like expats and local living in the bvi.
They have more knowledge and common sense to ignore!!
Check how those who in managerial positions or own their own companies treat and speak to expats.
Don't always mind the noise.
We need our jobs. We dont have no work for them here.
Wonderful news. Unless their Gov will be supporting them here while unemployed, the right thing to do, is to send for them. Thank you SVG.
Their government did not send for them. Their company sent them home as there is no work. All the Vincentian authorities did was made sure they met the health criteria and that they had place to quarantine or if not they would have to pay to be quarantined.
Caribbean governments on a whole have been very disappointing in the way they have handled their own people during this crisis. Locking them out of their own country. They don’t mind collecting taxes and remittances though. India repatriating their own. Philippines the same. USA , UK but Trinidad reject Trinidadians, Jamaica the same and even the BVI.
We are own worst enemy.
Love alone.
I Do not anticipate that their friends in bvi will go to SVG to reside,but may be to visit, but I would expect,the Vincies,to return after the economy is able to produce jobs for them again.
The bvi people will have no problem welcoming them again.
It is always nice when persons of different nationalities in a small country like bvi,can live together in harmony,which is an indication,that we all follow the principles of god.
Bon Voyage.
May God bless and protect these beautiful virgin islands and all who reside here.
Not before duncon get he @$% ...myron wanted big time ..........second lady of balsam ghut....pumpkin the first ....
I am of the opinions that our parents have thought us the principles of God's love, but some of us refused to adopt to good teaching and developed evil within your hearts against each other. We are just occupancy on earth until God call us home..
Let's respect and love one another and make it right with God.
Heaven is my home , people we need to turn from our wicked ways. Peace beyond to all of you.
Look at what a white man and his son did to a black guy:
