7:00pm to 6:00am curfew from Sunday, May 10, 2020- Premier Fahie
The Premier made the statement on Tuesday, May 5, 2020, via a live broadcast of a contract signing ceremony for repair works at the North Sound Administration Building on Virgin Gorda.
He said: “Cabinet on May 4, in order to restore more confidence in our economy, while the reopening and the rebooting is taking place, has made a decision that the next phase of the internal reopening for our economy will start on Sunday, May 10.”
The curfew will now be in place from the hours of 7:00pm to 6:00am daily.
Aggressive contact tracing
"That means that Cabinet has decided that construction companies and all other Cabinet approved businesses will be able to operate between the hours of 6 am to 7 pm daily under the new imposition of the curfew order which will also commence on Sunday, May 10 for 14 days.”
The Leader of Government Business stressed that the decision was hinged on the aggressive contact tracing of public health officials in identifying and addressing every possible risk of the Novel Coronavirus, the virus that causes COVID-19.
His statement comes days away from the expiration of the current curfew order, which ends on Sunday, May 10, 2020.
Meanwhile, the Territory currently has 3 active cases of COVID-19 from 7 confirmed cases. 3 persons have made full recoveries while one patient succumbed to the disease.

To the Government I hope you understand that people are NOT taking precautions with the 1pm curfew must less extending it to 7pm.
This would be like placing a domino in the wrong place line up in the stack and the whole thing come crumbling down.
Open da beaches
And u are soo right hmm.
Some of are still waiting to see or hear you first strategic plan and your long term plans for moving the country forward. From my experience the government not only have to find funds perhaps to the tune of 8 or 9 millions per month to pay regular government employees, coupled with: BVIPA, BVIAA, BVITB, BVIHA, HLSCC all are still either on the nipple or in serious cash issues.
We need to seriously look at how we will approach similar situations in the future as a total lockdown /closure of borders is not a sustainable situation especially as there is no way for us to get grant aid as we do not qualify for it.
