I don't plan on going down until all this is over, and I don't own any property or a boat anymore, so I don’t have a personal horse in the race. My main concerns at this point are the health and financial well-being of BVIslanders. It's a devil's bargain between the two. I also feel for everyone who can't enjoy or benefit from their homes & houses. I know I would be going through a lot of turmoil if I had property/investment/travel costs at stake.

All that said, I will not be surprised if the government has to make more changes between now & December in response to the ever-worsening case counts in the US, Europe and even Canada.

Government has certainly been confusing in the announcements so far, but I don’t envy anyone who’s trying to thread this needle while having no control over how visitors’ countries (or states or towns) of origin are dealing with the pandemic.
