Montserrat COVID 19 Update – New measures for phased reopening

My fellow Montserratians, residents and friends of Montserrat, I extend warm greetings to all of you. 

I hope you are all safe and well, and even in this Coronavirus era, we give God thanks for all of his blessings.

Today, I wish to recognise everyone who in their own way has contributed to this island over the past seven weeks, and I want to especially recognize our farmers, and fishers who in spite of the situation have continued to supply us with fresh vegetables, eggs, and fish—we appreciate your contribution. Thank you very much. 

Last Wednesday, the Honourable Minister of Health and Social Services and his team provided an update on plans and programmes that are in place within the ministry, as they prepare for any eventuality in relation to increased cases of COVID-19. 

An expanded isolation facility is near completion as work has been ongoing in retrofitting the downstairs of Margetson Memorial for this purpose. And work has commenced at the Golden Years Home to prepare it to house residents from Margetson, if the need arises.
