1. If we are both fully vaccinated, flying into Beef from SJU, do we still need COVID tests?
2. And if we are going to a villa, can we just quarantine there while waiting for results?
3. If we are on a Cape Air flight, and one person test positive, do we all have to do a 4 day Q?
Thanks

1) Yes and enter info into BVI portal
2) Pass
3) No, that was a mistake 1st day of ferry with confusion

1. Yes
2. Yes if a approved quarantine villa.
3. Yes, but I think it’s 7 days. Others will know. Might be changing.

George-

Do you have a source for Question 3 my friend? Not doubting you but would like to know the answer....

Someone arriving at the airport a week ago asked what happens if someone was positive. That is the answer they got. I would love a definitive answer. If there is a chance of getting caught in this we will pay for private transportation. This was also on the BVI news Page.

Another visitor, Jeremy McGranahan, complained that he and his personal travelling party have been forced to undergo and quarantine period of 10 to 11 days because someone outside of his travelling party tested positive for COVID-19.

McGranahan said his grievance about the mandatory quarantine order was that everyone who was in his group tested negative.

“Like I said, we (seven of us) had tested negative on all our tests, received our email of clearance, went to the police station [and] turned in our stuff and had bracelets cut off, then received a call saying someone (not in our group) tested positive so we had to go back on quarantine for another 10 days,” McGranahan said.

“I REPEAT, DO NOT take a ferry! You’re counting on all those people to test negative; not just your group,” he warned.

BVI News sought a comment from Minister Malone to clarify whether this is indeed the protocol. However, the minister did not respond to our news centre’s call or WhatsApp message up to publication time.

It remains unclear whether steps have been taken to remedy the situation.

I could not find an official government source but I did speak to a charter group on the beach last weekend that had that experience. They were released from quarantine, turned in their tracking devices, and received a follow up email indicating they had to return to quarantine due to a positive test on their ferry.

Thanks gentlemen...
