On Thursday, July 9th, 2020, St. Lucia received the first international flight since the border closure in March 2020. In an effort to safely facilitate the return of our nationals, quarantine centres have been set up using various hotels. This has proven to be an important measure in containing COVID-19 on Ireland and failure to adhere can have serious implications for disease containment. Over the last few months, many persons who have been granted home quarantine have not been adhering to those protocols established. All persons on home quarantine are required to stay indoors for 14 days. The public is asked to cooperate and encourage family members and friends who have returned from overseas and are presently in quarantine to remain at home for the 14-day duration. Failure to adhere can lead to community spread of COVID-19 at this time. The names of all persons on home quarantine are forwarded to the Royalty and Lucia Police Force to assist if compliance. The public is advised to alert the nearest police station or the Ministry of Health and Wellness at 468-531-8468-5349 with information in relation to anyone who breaches home quarantine guidelines. Further updates will be provided as information becomes available.
