Return your extra provisioning grocery packages - Hon Malone
"All recipients of territorial provisioning packages (groceries) are warned that the delivery to homes are being checked to verify that numerous packages (more than one) from either Government, FSN and Red Cross were not received by the same household," Hon Malone said in a social media update on Saturday, April 25, 2020.
He said while several in the Territory may have benefited, the programme was intended for those who needed and could not leave their homes because of the extended curfew (in spite of income level).
The BVI Red Cross and the Family Support Network (FSN) have been delivering groceries in addition to the Government's $2M assistance programme for basic food packages for seniors, the vulnerable, and those in need during the additional week of lockdown to help mitigate the spread of COVID-19 in the Territory.
The lockdown has been lifted today, April 27, 2020, and persons are allowed to shop for food supplies and essential items; however, a curfew will be in place from 1:00pm until 6:00am for the next 14 days.
One care package per household - Hon Malone
While Premier and Minister of Finance, Honourable Andrew A. Fahie (R1) has said no one would hungry during the period, many took to social media to complain about not getting through to the numbers provided by Government and charitable organisations for distributing food supplies and not getting supplies in general.
According to Honourable Malone, homes were only supposed to receive a single assistance package instead of multiple from the various distributors.
"Violators would be identified and contacted. You are encouraged to call 852-7688 and make arrangements to correct as there are families in need that have not been served," he said.
It is unclear what penalty would come for violating the system; however, some guilty of the offence have already taken to social media to complain that while they may be living under the same household with several others, they do not share groceries.
