Gov’t paying for basic food packages for all ‘in need’- Premier Fahie
The Government decided on the extension of the 14-day curfew, initially scheduled to end today, April 19, 2020, after a 4th confirmed case of COVID-19 in the Virgin Islands was announced on April 17, 2020.
The patient subsequently passed away at Dr D. Orlando Smith Hospital on April 18, 2020.
The curfew has been extended to Saturday, April 25, 2020.
Fear not, panic not
Meanwhile, Premier Fahie said his Government will not spare any efforts to put systems in place to ensure “all those who are in need and those needy of the food supply” get.
“Fear not, panic not. We will reach you at your home,” Premier Fahie assured
“I repeat, during this extended curfew period, no one under my watch as Premier and Minister of Finance in this Territory will go hungry,” Hon Fahie also said.
He noted that for the system to work effectively, “it is important that we allow the measures put in place to be accessed by those who need it most.”
According to the Premier, following the meeting of Cabinet today, April 19, 2020, he will make some further announcements so that everyone in the Virgin Islands will be clear on how they will be able to access the food supply “that will be coming to you along with any medication that persons may need.
“This shows that your Government will continue to work with everyone to build the BVI stronger than ever through COVID-19 with BVI Love.”

We don't want no damn food packages because you don't know our different eating habbits.we need to pick up exactly what we need to remain healthy.
Wait until additional information is released today before jumping to conclusions.
Do you not realize that there are persons who were in contact with the deceased who tested positive for coronavirus (awaiting further confirmation from overseas) who have fled with no idea if they would be out through the stores.
I know we are used to our freedom but it’s not only yourself the Government is trying to protect but others.
Be Thank Full.
Amen!!
Some people have a short memory. The hurricanes were much worse. Another hurricane season is fast approaching as well. The government are doing their best. They have families too that are not getting their full attention because they are trying to take care of the people of the country and keep everyone safe. We as a people should try to show a bit more gratitude because what may seem bad now could always get worse. SHOW APPRECIATION in EVERY positive, even though there may be some negatives.
These ppl out there running the country while we home scratching ass
I don’t mind they get fed first it’s on fair
Should we have a fireman a police officer doc or nurse drop down on work
Stupes soo ignorant can’t see they are running the show for all of us
those ppl are of paramount importance.
Take what you get, eat stay healthy simple
We needed that reminder. We should be proud of what we have done to a bird sanctuary. Let us brace ourselves and do whatever we can to survive this. Let us teach our children national pride and train them how to handle themselves when times get tough and enjoy it when times are good. Our fore fathers work hard to get us where we are . We have to stop letting people define who we are. Let us eat our corn beef, sardines and rice and be happy this will pass. Be thankful that you have a Government that care for you. We are bless.

Life will never be the same..
Sorry to say.. but it's reality...
Not once did you stop and think would the curfew be extended, completely disregarding the fact that Government did say to shop for a MINIMUM of 14 days.
