ROAD TOWN, Tortola, VI – UK MP and Secretary of State for Foreign Commonwealth and Development Affairs, Rt Hon Dominic R. Raab has praised the Andrew A. Fahie (R1) Government for its sterling handling of the COVID-19 pandemic in the Virgin Islands (VI).

In a letter seen by Virgin Islands News Online (VINO) sent to Premier Fahie on April 9, 2021, the MP complemented not only the Government for its effective strategy, but also commended VI’s local health professionals for containing the spread of the Virus through the protocols implemented by the Fahie administration.

Health Professional commended for role

“I would like to take this opportunity to commend the BVI’s health professionals for their continuing response to COVID-19. It is testament to them, and the protocols that your government have put in place, that the BVI has had so few cases,” he said.

Hon Raab also complimented the VI public for their response to the government’s vaccination drive, with well over 8,000 people in the territory having received their first dose of the UK donated Oxford-AstraZeneca vaccines.

“I am pleased that the UK will be able to provide enough vaccinations for the adult population, and it is reassuring to know that over 8,000 people in the BVI have already received their vaccinations,” the MP said.

Vaccination remains essential – Hon Rabb 

Amidst opposition criticisms, Premier Fahie along with Health Minister, Hon Carvin Malone (Al) had repeatedly said the government’s pandemic strategy was one that balanced lives and livelihoods, with COVID-19 vaccination as the key.

As the local Government’s aggressive vaccination drive continues, Hon Fahie said the VI is set to fully re-open its economy in June of 2021.  

According to Hon Rabb, “Global Vaccination coverage is essential to tackling the virus, and I am proud of the way that the UK and the BVI continue to work in partnership to respond to this pandemic.”

      That your mind can twist itself to call humans cockroaches. I pray for your dark hurting soul. Only a person in personal turmoil and pain can communicate with such hatred. May God grant you peace and bring you out into the light.

          @Historian Gus did not save the day after Irma. First let's thank God for that. Let me thank my district rep. For bringing water , food, etc. Where were YOUR GUS? And guess what I am sure I have been here much longer you.
          Is it so hard to admit how Gus went about the COI was wrong? He was not and is not perfect. Just a boy who met his match and went home to throw a tantrum when he couldn't have his way.

    Keep our borders locked and secure from illegal entry. This ain't no game, illegal entry is messing up countries that moving forward setting them back. Look at Anguilla Just had to shut down because of illegal entry persons bringing the virus....I like Anguilla lock down, Each person has a hour and a half outside daily to conduct essential business,. The perfect lockdown. Lol.. Great leader.. That should have been the standard in the beginning. That's where everything went wrong they lock the country down like a prison Full of murderers..took all freedom away...Stay focus on our borders. Keep them safe and secure.

    A word of praise from your enemy is very good. Despite all the opposition stunts locally, the VIP lead government is being praised by British MP Robb. It is time for us to work collaboratively to ensure that the territory moves forward in the interest of its people. What is needed now more than ever is for the people to be vaccinated so that the population would be free from the threat of this virus.
