'Too many individuals abusing curfew passes'- Hon Malone
In a Facebook post last week, April 7, 2020, the Minister reiterated that the curfew was imposed to save lives and urged those with passes to stop abusing the privilege.
"Too many individuals are abusing their passes by going to places not specified in the pass. It must stop!" he said.
The Minister continued, "the next move would be to cancel all passes and tightly issue new passes to only absolute and verifiable essential workers. Check your status or you may be checked in!" Hon Malone warned.

Just recently, Commissioner of Police, Mr Michael B. Matthews, speaking to Virgin Islands News Online (VINO), said while many were adhering to the curfew, too many curfew passes were being abused.
"Mainly we are seeing compliance, especially at nights, but there are cases of abuse of passes, borrowing somebody’s and a minority ignoring the curfew requirements."
Hon Malone underscored that those who are violating the rules are putting the lives of people in the Territory at risk.
The VI moved to implement a complete 14-day lockdown starting Saturday, April 4, 2020, after recording its first three cases of COVID-19 as a measure to prevent community spread of the virus.
Two of the three individuals who tested positive have since recovered from the virus with just 1 active confirmed case still pending full recovery, according to an April 9, 2020 radio update from Hon Malone.

Die how? You all really letting the media turn you into idiots! After Sunday when lockdown is lifted then what? The virus will go on sabatical? The only way to manage the spread is for people to practice proper hygiene and stay home if sick, same as if you have regular flu. Being cramped up at home to be let out in a week time only gives false hope.
They got full control now

[" Is there a specified term and condition written to the back of the curfew pass"?]
Well, if there is, then take the appropriate action for breach of the tern and condition.
If there no term and no condition, ofcourse the holder will abuse it.
All those with passes are relatives. All those in the government cars with them are all of C******s side chicks.
You all here talking about island this and that...fighting down your own...no body watching the whities, they have most of the passes and are the ones abusing them...most of them have passes to do what?... they are not fisherman, not farmers, not essential works.
