  So every time someone is tested positive these institutions will be shutting down? Dat makes absolutely no sense whatsoever.

  We in trouble. When things should be getting better it getting worst.. So if tomorrow first bank or Republic Bank have a case operation wil be shut down. I am sure Banco is happy to shut down and be home because they never had the passion and desire to serve customers...

    I keep the majority of my money hidden in a tin can under a patch of grass in my yard for when I don’t have access to the bank. Grandpa taught me that.

  Every business place in the BVI HAVE THE COVID VIRUS LURKING IN THE CORNER. Be it bars, strip clubs, supermarket, banks, bakery and the list goes on and on. No one is safe from COVID. The invisible, order less tasteless virus.

  I hear you, COVID IS RAMPANT IN TORTOLA. Trust me, there is a lot of positive people in Tortola who know they have the virus but refuse to say anything out of shame but they are still going out and about like nothing infecting others. Those are the dangerous ones.

    The AIDS virus, plenty of people knew they were infected and they kept their mouths shut and was going around infecting others. Yes, a whole lot of people is infected with COVID right here in the BVI and they are going around infecting other people that is why the cases is rising.We we’re doing so well, as soon as curfew was lifted, people just started acting the fool like untrained wild animals released from their cages. Does it hurt to just wear a mask, social distance and keeping your hands clean and sanitized?

    That is one of the problems right there. They know they have the virus and stay quiet and go out in public and in places of business mask less infecting others. That is why the virus is spreading so fast. All businesses should mandate mask wearing when inside their business. No exceptions.

  Where I am thinking about wearing a hazmat suit when I leave my home. CDC is recommending that no one should consider taking cruises vaccinated or not.

  So I have to go through new year’s with no cash? Smdh

    Guess so or unless someone is willing to float you a loan. Good thing I listened to my parents who told me to always keep some cash hidden away in case of days like these. My parents don’t trust banks. I still don’t understand why people is still standing in lines at banks with a withdrawal slip to get their money.

  Never understood why ayo people line up like sheep every day to get into these banks. Ever heard of mobile deposit? It’s almost 2022 and many of you still haven’t figured out electronic banking?

  So what you’re saying is, Banco Popular insanely crappy services will remain the exact same as before Covid-19?
  
  Worst staff ever, completely and utterly useless. Never seen a staff with such useless employees.

  And now government appointed Banco Popular as their sole bank??? Stupes. Not only will there be no service and lines three times around Wickham's Cay, but all their information will be in the hands of Uncle Sam
