I extend greetings to everyone and I thank you for joining us for this update on the ongoing COVID-19 response in the British Virgin Islands.

The Ministry of Health and Social Development confirms that the 17 persons under investigation have tested negative for COVID-19.

I want to thank people for the efforts to comply with the managed curfew we have in place today, Friday and Saturday.  This is to help us beat the coronavirus and stamp it out over the next period.
