Written by Fuze Social Team on September 7, 2021
Premier and Minister of Finance Andrew has made it clear that although cruise ship passengers would be operating within a bubble, it does not mean closing off a particular beach to them.
At a press conference last Friday the Premier announced that Cabinet agreed to remove the requirement for rapid testing for fully-vaccinated Cruise ship Passengers and Crew visiting the Territory for less than 24 hours, subject to enhanced COVID-19 protocols, including passenger bubbles and enhanced COVID-19 monitoring and enforcement.
It was also decided that a Task Force, headed by the Director of the BVI Tourist Board be assigned to develop, implement and enforce a Cruise Ship Bubble Operation Plan and to report its contents to the Cabinet in one (1) week.
Premier Fahie further clarified what the bubble means in this instance.
