Spend all you can to protect VI’s borders - Skelton-Cline urges Fahie Gov’t



The man of the Cloth was at the time speaking at the November 5, 2020, edition of his Honestly Speaking radio show on ZBVI 780 AM.
The commentator recalled that the Virgin Islands had experienced a spike in COVID-19 cases in August 2020, which was blamed on human smuggling and illegal entry.
“Now I want to say clearly and succinctly, you and I and we as a people cannot afford to go back into that situation, nowhere near the situation… I'm not concerned so much about Road Town Ferry Dock and our airport and other seaports when they open… its the unofficial places.”
Protect the Borders - Skelton-Cline
Skelton-Cline continued, “It’s our porous borders that when we open that marine side and this is why we all need to push and insist that the government has those borders well protected, whatever they need to do whatever or additional investment that needs to be made… we need to ensure,” he said.
He said should any border breach happen, it will retard all of VI’s efforts to mitigate the effects of the pandemic over the past months and put the population at risk.
“None of us wants to go back there, none of us wants to go on any more lockdowns, none of us wants to have any more curfews…we don't want to have the government to be sending out no food baskets to us,” he said.
The Virgin Islands currently has zero reported positive cases of COVID-19.
