(PLTM) - The borders of the BVI will be reopened from June 2 with restrictions, announced Premier Hon. Andrew Fahie.

At a press conference held on Thursday afternoon, May 21, the Premier disclosed that Cabinet decided that the borders be opened initially from June 2 to 15 where the first priority will be given to the re-entry of nationals, belongers, holders of permanent residence and naturalised citizens. This will be done after the persons upon registration and certification by the Environmental Health Division, are deemed to have approved private quarantinable accommodation for occupancy for at least a 14-day period.

Further, from June 2 to June 15, 2020, priority for re-entry will also be given to persons who left the Territory for medical treatment and were subsequently displaced due to border closures.

Also, from June 15, 2020, consideration would be given to the re-entry of persons with approved registration and certification with respect to available government quarantine spaces and during the aforementioned period.

It was explained that, Cabinet received and endorsed, as amended, the protocol for the Controlled Re-entry of Nationals and Permanent Residents to the Virgin Islands during the COVID-19 Pandemic as part of the Restricted Border Reopening Plan; and it also approved the Registration Form, as amended, for Re-entry of Nationals and Permanent Residents.

The amended Registration Form will be available on Government’s Website on May 25, 2020.

Premier Fahie noted that, Cabinet decided that the Government of the Virgin Islands would fund costs related to Government quarantine.

The Territory’s leader said that government will continue to meet to assess the situation.
