Cuban medical professionals complete 14-day mandatory quarantine
This paves the way for the team, comprising one (1) administrator, nine (9) nurses and twelve (12) doctors, to be deployed into the VI community to commence medical support services to the Territory.
Premier and Minister of Finance, Hon Andrew A. Fahie (R1) at the arrival of the team thanked the Government of Cuba on behalf of the People of the Virgin Islands for what he called a 'historic day' in a long history of partnerships between the two countries.
Team will boost capacity of BVIHSA - Premier Fahie
Even though the VI has had only 9 confirmed cases of COVID-19, inclusive of one death, the Premier explained that the assistance of the Cubans was requested in an effort to boost the capacity of the team of local health care professionals currently at the BVI Health Services Authority (BVIHSA).
He said the assistance will ensure that the Territory is able to deal with any situation which may occur as Government continues the cautious phased re-opening of the borders.
“We anticipate that this effort will assist the Territory in opening up with a greater sense of confidence in the fact that adequate specialised treatment capacity will now be available in the Territory,” the Premier said ahead of the arrival.
It was announced that team members are now going through orientation, ahead of joining healthcare professionals at the BVI Health Services Authority.

With your piss trying to call down bvislanders in a smart way by using a woman like Kamala Harris who has been involved in civil rights movements and equality from time she was a young child.
A lot of people feel that BVIslanders are the one who promoting division in this territory but a lot of expats are a part of the problem too. For years many of them (black and white) have been calling down locals. Both sides are Equally guilty but don’t try to use Kamala Harris to promote your BS.
The government is preparing for reopening. Didn't you read this above?
