VI considered safe place to travel by CDC
The US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) updated its travel health notices for a number of countries in the Caribbean region on August 6, 2020, placing them under Level Warning 3.
VI deemed safe destination for travel
The Virgin Islands; however, has been deemed safe as it did not make the list warning Americans that the several Caribbean islands have been identified as high risk for COVID-19.
This means US citizens should avoid all nonessential travel to the listed destination due to the risk of COVID-19.
The countries include: Montserrat, Belize, The Bahamas, Saint Lucia, Grenada, Jamaica, Guyana, Haiti, Martinique, St Vincent and the Grenadines, Barbados, Sint Maarten, Aruba, Trinidad and Tobago, St Kitts and Nevis, Suriname, US Virgin Islands, Turks and Caicos Islands, Saint Martin, Puerto Rico, The Dominican Republic, Curacao, Cuba, Guadeloupe, French Guiana, Bermuda, Antigua and Barbuda and Anguilla.
The CDC notes that if someone gets sick with COVID-19 (or test positive for COVID-19, even if they have no symptoms) while abroad, they may be isolated or not be permitted to return to the United States until they have fully recovered from the illness.
If a person is exposed to COVID-19 while abroad, that person may be quarantined or not be permitted to return to the United States until 14 days after their last exposure.
Watch list
Some Caribbean countries have also been placed under a Watch Level 1. This means US travellers should practice usual precautions as over the last 28 days new cases of COVID-19 in these destinations decreased of stabilised.
The islands under this watch include: Saint Barthelemy, Saba, Sint Eustatius and Bonaire
The Virgin Islands has not been receiving tourists as yet; however, it is a morale boost for the Territory and its COVID-19 efforts.
The Virgin Islands has had 9 cases of COVID-19, with one death. There is currently one active case in the Territory, which was imported.
The infected person, who reportedly travelled from the Dominican Republic, remains in isolation.

But big ups.
Some are calling for the tourism sector to open but I ask where are tourist coming from? There are no tourist traveling. Further more a lot of countries have been put on a list of places not to visit ,vice versa. We have no direct flights . Tourist are going to adhere to these warnings and not fly to the places on the list. These places on the list are major connection hubs to get to the BVI so they can’t get here even if they wanted to. Atleast not without a peace of mind. Even St. Thomas which would be the other Obvious connection have been put on the US list of places not to Visit due to corona virus. Ship are definitely not sailing . In my opinion the borders are open to a sufficient capacity. They are letting people in who Belong here and they quarantine for two weeks before being released to population. This is perfect until covid is under control. Kudus VIP
By now we all would have been dead!!! VIP is for we
USA cases worst than any other country. They meant : "This means US citizens should avoid all travel to other US States. They should stay put in their own state."
So don’t go around saying that the Americans are sick. Since ever since, all of you folks have been welcoming in the yellowtail Americans with open arms, with disregard to your own natives.
They haven't cancelled it yet.
Thank god they didn’t classify us like that.
