The numbers falling and vaccine is becoming widely available in the US relatively soon and one shipment being administered in the bvi with more promised. It was thought that those being vaccinated would be less likely to get and spread any disease including Covid. The data from this study indicates that to be the case. That would indicate that there is little risk allowing vaccinated travelers in with a negative test and no quarantine.
If they do not allow that I suspect there will be tremendous backlash as there has been in some venues with lockdowns in the us. The island has been without its main source of income for going on a year. Travelers will not accept a quarantine when other venues do not.
Hopefully they will be able to open safely by summer. They sometimes say anyone who wants a vaccine can get one in April. Then yesterday some in the game said July. Hopefully the truth comes to be between the two.
I hope a snag does not develop with the bvi requiring a quarantine for those visitors under 18 for whom no vaccine has been approved. If they are not allowed on island with vaccinated adults, it will hamper severely the summer charter and land based business.
