 Prime Minister the Honourable Alan Shastney on Friday 28th May 2021 announced that Cabinet on the advice of the Chief Medical Officer had approved amendments to the COVID-19 prevention and control regulations effective 31st May 2021 to 30th June 2021. Among the adjusted measures is the lifting of quarantine for returning nationals and visitors who present a negative PCR test and are fully vaccinated. However, random testing will be done at all arrival points. Notwithstanding the relaxation of measures, Hon. Shastney said St Lucia is still at a critical point in relation to the COVID-19 pandemic. And as such, Government anticipates the risks involved and will continue to strengthen the public health system. The Prime Minister also emphasised the need for St Lucia to get vaccinated against COVID-19. Vaccination he noted reduces the risk of severe illness and transmission. Nevertheless, everyone including fully vaccinated persons must continue to wear their masks, social distance and sanitise. It is even more important that everybody in our communities continues to adhere to the current set of protocols. But at the same time, we're hoping that many more solutions are going to be encouraged now that they're seeing the number of people who have been vaccinated globally. And even here in St Lucia, over 27,000 people have already been vaccinated. Over 18,000 people have already received their second dose to encourage many more solutions to become vaccinated. Having a large percentage of the population fully vaccinated Hon. Shastney added will enable the country to fully open its economy. St Lucia, many solutions have suffered because of COVID-19. And while the government has done everything we can to mitigate against the fallout, it was impossible to eliminate it. So today's announcement allows many of those small businesses that have been affected. The car rental businesses, small guest houses, Airbnb, bars and restaurants to reopen. But we need to do this safely because as quickly as we've opened up our economy, if in fact we see an increase in cases, as you know, it would cause the government to have to reverse some of our protocols again. So we're all in this together. We can do this. We must do this. And I'm asking you one more time. All of us, despite some of the hesitation that we have in order to move on and get back to some level of normalcy to give many solutions the opportunity to take care of themselves and their families, please get vaccinated. 46,771 inclusions have received the AstraZeneca vaccine. 28,118 individuals have received the first dose of the vaccine. And 18,653 individuals have received the second dose.
