‘Your turn will come’- Premier to businesses not allowed to reopen yet
He said, while the urge to open up will be present, every business place in time will be allowed to reopen.
“Let us not be too hasty to push the envelope with COVID-19. This is a phased reopening. We have to start with some businesses and then expand, in a systematic way over time, based on the progress that we make and based on how the international situation evolves,” He said.
The Premier continued: “For some whose businesses are not yet cleared for opening, I know it must be difficult, and I know the temptation will be there to take chances. But do not go down that road. Your turn will come soon enough – and it will be sooner once we are all working together and abiding with the rules.”
Let's not undo the progress made
He urged all to adhere to the various guidelines and regulations “because deviating from them can undo all the progress we have made.”
“Let us continue to further limit the impact of COVID-19 on the Territory and all of us. Let us continue to work together because this is the only way to overcome COVID-19,” he reasoned.
He said residents must use masks when leaving their homes that covers their nose and mouth area properly, remain six feet apart, wash hands regularly, etcetera.
“We have done a good job leading up to this moment, and I know we will steer the course in the days and weeks ahead. I look forward to a successful first phase of the reopening of business, and the timely graduation to phase two in the not-too-distant future,” he noted.
From today at 6:00am until 1:00pm, persons will be allowed to leave their homes to conduct business for the next 14 days.
This partial curfew comes following weeks of lockdown to minimise the spread of the virus.
There has been one confirmed death and a total of six confirmed cases of the virus in the Virgin Islands.
3 of the persons infected have since recovered.
