 The Government of St. Lucia has approved amendments to the COVID-19 prevention and control regulations, effective Friday 25 June 2021 until Tuesday 31 August 2021. The decisions by the Cabinet of Ministers have been taken following consultation with the Command Centre and based on data related to the number of active COVID-19 cases in St. Lucia. The Government of St. Lucia continues to encourage all St. Lucia's to get vaccinated and to follow the protocols in order to further decrease the spread of COVID-19. The Government of St. Lucia is mindful of the sectors impacted by COVID-19 and anticipates that the latest measures will assist the transportation, food and beverage and event sector as well as linkage industries. The latest measures are as follows. The curfew is adjusted to 11pm to 4am daily.
