Health Minister Hon. Carvin Malone has disclosed that the Government has become aware that a number of persons are utilising the entry procedures to import exotic dancers and other persons for employment into the Territory under the guise of being family members or friends.

“These flagrant episodes of disregard for public safety and the protocols that have been established to ensure protection of lives and livelihoods during this time of the COVID-19 Pandemic will not be tolerated,” he warned.
The minister said the Government has recently instituted a number of fines and penalties and expanded the categories of officers designated to administer tickets.
In addition, he said the Social Distancing Task Force will continue to make unannounced visits and will hold persons and businesses accountable to being responsible.
“We cannot play with the health and lives of each other. We are in this together but each of us must do our part,” he asserted.

The Government One Sided
They always picking on outsider yea some person my not like the fact of what is happen but it the oldest profession in the world . Now tell the Dominican Republic has almost 21000 fewer cases than Puerto Rico and I can’t recall hearing them on the high risk ban. If i am wrong let me know cause that can’t be right if is so
Nothing going stop this type of business from happening so in the mean time we need the existing dancers to hit the gym all them **** have belly pouch and it's not cute... regular girls looking better than them now
Exotic dancing/prostitution (All around that arena) is ILLEGAL in the BVIs. Whatever fancy name the people have given it, still don't make it right and these local business owners fully well know that. If a law was in place for on the spot fining, then all this madness will stop. A country that stands for nothing will fall for anything! God don't like promiscuous behavior! Done speak
I see a lot of y’all in the comments are okay with people coming here illegally to work as long as they pass a Covid screening. I wonder if this would fly for other professions. Bunch of hypocrites.
What exactly is “utilizing the entry procedures to import exotic dancers”? Do you fill out a form,,,do you pay duty,,,but then again this is a BS covid story to incite people,,,
Why are we issuing licenses for clubs. What do you thing is going to happen. Can't understand it. This government always with their prayer broadcasts like they have a moral compass and they condoning these type of activities.
Maybe they are family members who are coming back home. They been away earning good money as strippers abroad but can now make good money back here now down island and expats not welcome.
If they are doing the 4 day quarentine then they arent a threat. Plus like the other comment said you all lnow full well they bring different girls in all the time. If you stopped clutching your pearls and actually went out and about in the community you would see and hear a lot more.
Family or not did they pass the covid test, did they follow all entry protocols. Once they did n there here what there occupation have to do with any complaints
At Rubbish and Yup, it may not be new and has been there for a long time, but what is still true about it is that it is still disgusting. In this day and age with police all over the street and knowing the places that bring in these strippers, they must be there enjoying themselves as well why they are not raided. And then you have the audacity to complain about their fitness? The older the world is the closer we are to the end of times. See Jesus, lust of the flesh will only lead you to hell fire. God help us all.
