Detained persons refusing to take COVID-19 test– Hon Malone
Hon Malone made the announcement this afternoon, September 20, 2021, during a COVID-19 update.
According to the Health Minister, 47 actives cases were recorded as of today, where 12 were discovered on entry testing.
He said troubling; however, is that 35 of the 47 active cases were found within the VI community, indicating high community spread of the virus.
Risks to law enforcement officers
According to Hon Malone, the new trend of persons in conflict with the law refusing to test, “Potentially exposes and places considerable risks to our law enforcement officers.”
He said Cabinet has therefore taken a number of measures to mitigate the threat to law enforcement and the prison population.
Cabinet decisions made - Hon Malone
He said given there are legal restrictions that prohibit the enforcement of testing of all persons in conflict with the law, irrespective of them being officially charged for an offense, Cabinet has decided that prior to being lawfully detained, a persons will be required to take a COVID-19 test, unless the Attorney General (AG) says otherwise.
For persons who have been arrested and are being held at the police station, if subsequently charged, they will be subjected to a rapid antigen test prior to being transported to Her Majesty's Prison.
“We are not out of the woods yet," the minister said regarding the alarming number of local cases originating in the community.
He encouraged persons in the VI to get vaccinated, as the key proven and tested way to protect against the virus and end the pandemic.

CDC numbers we’re and are inflated, deaths are inflated, every thing is fraud and Genocide on Gods people , and you all say you all believe in the Bible , Alas Alas Alas Babylon the great is fallen. Time times and half a time.
Satan knows that his time is short
People are still looking for normal life again ? It’s over. Get your house in order. Even preachers taking Vaccine you ever hear dat in Bible. Don’t bow to the Image of the Health Minister, stand up and fight BVI.
I’m happy your comment got posted.
By the way who is paying for this test? Is it a cost to Government?
The next best alternative is to allow them to sit in a jail cell for 14 days. Cabinet have the powers yo put policies in place.
Police officers of the RVIPF has the right to demand special protective clothing when in close contact with suspected covid-19 virus carriers
No person or persons that are unable to prove that they are Coviid-19 virus free should be allowed to attend patients in any health facilities anywhere.
No person or persons that refused a heath test should be allowed to be a food handler in any public restaurant, but should not be discriminated against from exercising their freedom rights, if their actions do not threatened others rights. So you see? It goes both ways. "What's good for the geese is good for the hands", I hope.
U took your vaccine to protect yourself but scared to be around unvaccinated
Defeating the purpose of the vaccine.
Btw who said or where u saw that vaccinated individuals don’t catch spread or die from COVID
As far as I know the vaccine only helps in preventing one from becoming seriously ill from COVID.
Go get counseling
Or better yet go live in the jungle and hide from
The unvaccinated.
Wow, I am a true Christian believer, and a Bible student from my teen. Also, I hold a bachelor and a Master degree in Biblical studies. The Bible doesn't support your theory that the anti-covid-19 virus vaccines are as you are trying to convince others,as you have yourself, that they are. While you may seem to the unlearn that you know what you are right in your judgement, you and many others have scriptures through the limit ability of the human mind, not the unmatched knowledge of God's Holy Spirit. Only God Son and His Spirit know the fullness of God mind. All belief that differ and contridicts God Word, ordinated in the minds of Satan, to fallen angels, to man's ( deceived humans) mind.
Anti-covid-19 virus vaccines, though being used by men for health and money making purposes are not the "Mark of the Beast, as do many do believe and spread false information. While it is true that that they, the vaccines are imperfect, they have proven to save the lives of hundreds of millions of people in this world, where they were administered. But thousands that have taken them have died, because of various reasons.
Everyone has a right to determine their own destiny.
There is a passage of Scripture that is in Proverbs or Eleciastes, I don't at this time remember which Chapter and verse at this time, but you and all others that choose to can look it up. It say, in a question form, "why should a man die before his time."
God did not Create puppets and robots. created man in his own image and similar- mindedness. He directs us. If we chose not to follow His lead, we will die before His set time. To each his own.
Or maybe you are a false prophet coming here to mislead the flock...
get thee hence.
I’m not the poster but looking with a critical eye tell me it’s all gravy that BILL GATES patent 666 came out at the start of this pandemic.
Tell me it’s all gravy when the scientists said this virus is mutating exceptionally fast. To have fauci tell the senate he was not involved in funding virus enhancement studies in the wuhan lab. That was a lie.
He did fund it through his institute. Now he’s our savior????
Tell me it’s all gravy when Trump said it came from a lab and was ridiculed with fauci laughing behind him when trump threw a diss/jab to the “deep state” but now when Biden says it came from a lab, it’s now acceptable to believe.
We were led to believe it came from a bat & wet market
Cmon brother or sister open your eyes
The satanist will tell you exactly what they’re going to do before they do it.
I’m all for healthcare done right but people realize there’s medication on the market that will kill you
Make you lose your sight, cause hyper tension increased risk of a multitude of ailments “sometimes fatal side effects may occur” (said on commercials in a fast and low volume voice)
as a side effect meanwhile cannabis is illegal was and still is falsely scorned by the medical system.
I’m all for traditional vaccines but this whole play if you pay attention is &*- up.
Vaccines loosing efficiency, (not enough time for research logically duuuh)
vaccinated still spreading the virus while having MORE freedom, (big money wants everyone vaccinated regardless, the more it spreads the more fear and vaccines they sell)
plans to give mRNA vaccines cooked up in 2 years to pregnant and infants as young as 2 months old (f- no! Agent Orange messed up a whole generation of US soldiers future children & Vietnamese offspring)
FDA approval for the booster shot not approved for persons under 65 (vaccines in Europe were once halted due to serious side effects mostly observed in women not in the high risk group)
Reporting of direct vaccine Deaths (Lisa Shaw being the most famous victim as a bbc reporter) and complications downplayed and censored.
Oh yea and no legal recourse allowed. we have to rely on the goodness -cough- of the UK to pay for any adverse side effects.
Still with vaccinated ending up hospitalized there is no cure and all efforts to discuss new methods seem to be censored.
Obese people dropping but no health mandates or education on food & national exercise.
Is this not an emergency? Or is it a plan to sell vaccines to governments at the least.
My heart goes out to the government Minister of Health. It is true that I have disagreed with him on some of the ways that he has brought some of his messaged across, but for antivaxxers, he is wrong on almost everything that he has said, in reference to the covid-19 virus issues.
Since when tested for covid-19 virus confirmation is wrong, and he and others deserved to be curse at by antivaxxers and their flocks? Lord God of loving mercies, open up our blinded eyes to see, our minds to recognize the way of inclusive love, in the false-god place of material worshippers, where You are seen through the eyeware of lifeless money, and we human are lifted up in pride only to fall to dust, and become as were once again with nothing as first came, in the name of Jesus, your own name that you have given to Him. Amen.
