    Now how could this have happened? According to protocols the unvaccinated has to quarantine up to 7 days if second test has proven to be negative then it’s up to 14 days… but the vaccinated walks free… ( as the vaccine protects them from getting sick badly but allows them to transmit) oh wow now we have a situation… shouldn’t the vaccinated quarantine as well? someone please explain this science… I’m not getting the Math done…

    Been saying this over and over vaccinated person can still spread the virus if they catch it. They should go through the normal testing like everyone else, they can catch the virus and spread it rapidly because they were not tested and they were free to roam how they like.
    Now another story is the bars see the list above for contact treacing.

    This hotel quarantine thing is not working out because I had a family member came here from America and there was no one at the hotel enforcing the Covid-19 rules. Even the security guard was up in the quarantine persons room looking what he could get for free. So it best everyone get vaccinated.

    when i go to the church on sundays i am required to print my name on the page

    are persons visiting clubs required to print their names

    having a register help track down in the event of an incident just make sure the correct names are submitted wont hurt to ask for address


    to all of you with attitudes; can BVI afford another lockdown
