Government to Allow Social Events for the Vaccinated

The Minister for Health, Wellness and Elderly Affairs has indicated that the Cabinet of Ministers recognizes and applauds the efforts of Saint Lucians to collectively reduce the rate of transmission of the deadly COVID-19 virus. Every effort must be made by all to prevent another deadly wave of the COVID -19 Pandemic.

The government will be changing the protocols to allow events and non-essential social activities for vaccinated patrons and for the phased operations of other businesses which were restricted over the last three months. As Saint Lucians look

forward to Jounen Kweyol, one of the most anticipated national observances in Saint Lucia, the government encourages all to celebrate this Jounen Kweyol at home with family instead of large social gatherings, which can reverse the hard-fought gains which have recently been made against the COVID-19 virus. Therefore, this coming Sunday, October 31, the current protocols will be adjusted and there will be restrictions on movement from Saturday evening to Monday morning.
