2 more imported coronavirus cases recorded in VI
The Minister made the announcement during the Government's latest COVID-19 update tonight, August 17, 2020, noting that the cases remain mild and that the individuals have been placed in quarantine.
Hon Malone said, "Please note that both patients have recently returned to the Territory, quarantined and in accordance with the established health protocols were tested at the end of their 14-day quarantine period.
"Both persons will remain in isolation while they will be monitored, administered the necessary treatment services and thereafter, tested by the BVI Health Services Authority until recovered."
Illegal trafficking reported- Hon Malone
He said the VI's border control measures continue to work for the Territory, by quickly identifying and limiting the possibility of person to person transmission of the virus.
So far, according to the Minister, 1890 persons have been tested and 6 additional results are pending.
He also said Government is probing reports of illegal trafficking of persons at VI's borders.
"If this is so, my simple advice is to stop, it is dangerous, it is wrong, it could bring harm to the Territory," Hon Malone underscored.

From COVID. free to now 2. This is like a joke. When these people been here? Who they spread it to?
You sound like an #$$
The thing is AIRBORNE.
then they need different protocols in place or should simply say no you cant come in..regardless of immigration status.
What i dont understand is if these 2 were tested at the airport on arrival and were negative yet they test positive after 14 days...how can that be ?
government made big deal out of testing the navy crew the other day.......means nothing doesnt it ...if its the same test that these 2 had at the airport and then within 14 day 24 hours a day quarantine managed to become positive..... it just doesnt make sense.
government state that certain peoole who wish to do business here can come in for no more than 5 days WITHOUT quarantine, but they must uave a test from country they depart from and get tested when they arrive...how does that protect us if.this recent 2 cases happened with testing and full quarentine.....imagine if they had been released directly into the community upon arrival...wham bang thankyou mam..we.d all be in lockdown again.
we either have to accept that we will get cases and be prepared for it ( which i assume is why we have the Cuban medical team here.....or we keep ourselves wrapped in cotton wool for the next 6 months and watch our economy crumble...its a difficult one and i dont envy this government.
Between the USVI, the smuggling and illegal entries and DR our survival will be a miracle.
