New BVIHSA covid testing concierge offer

We just received our day 0 test results ( fortunately negative ), along with what looks like a new program they are offering.
For a fee, they will send a physician out to your resort, residence or vessel and conduct a test with a 24 hour turnaround.

Unfortunately, the fees are very high: $150 per test per person, a $600 physician fee and a $200 ($300 if more than 5 people), and a $100 transportation fee.
The total to get the two of us tested on our boat would be $1200 :-)

“Never let a crisis go to waste “

"The total to get the two of us tested on our boat would be $1200 :-)"

That's a lot of painkillers. I'll opt to head in for testing so my drink funds aren't depleted.

Indeed!

Crisis actions have consequences - and can ruin economies. Exactly why we be sailing USVI instead of BVI.
Money is fungible & so are vacation destinations.

Well it's just another option, maybe aimed at the superyacht crowd.

And no, not everyone can just decide to go elsewhere.

for which test will they do this? Day 0, Day 4 and/or test to get back to the states?

is there a link?

Everyone gets to read this in their own wheelhouse, right ?

I didn't get a link... Two jpgs attached to an email, suggesting I could do this for the day four or day fourteen test. Since I've never heard of a day fourteen test I assume they took that number from the length of our stay - the return test.

There is a day 14 test for residents coming from certain countries. The list I can recall is UK, Dominican Republic, and I believe there are 2 others. It's the list of countries with high counts of the newer strains and tourists arrivals from those countries is banned in the BVI.

I got the same graphic but didn't even save it due to the high cost.

That makes more sense, thanks.
