Prevention (CDC) to remove its coronavirus
(COVID-19) travel warning for
the island.
Prime Minister Allen Chastanet
said that “this is even
more validation of
our country’s success
in the management of
COVID-19.”
“We have to keep
following our protocols and ensuring
that pre-testing is done before visitors
arrive in St. Lucia. This takes the
support and cooperation of all the
stakeholders in the travel industry,”
he added.
In its previous “Level 3” Reconsider
Travel” notice, the CDC urged Americans
to avoid non-essential travel to
St. Lucia due to serious risks to safety
and security.
St. Lucia was not the only country
to have been issued with the warning
by the CDC even as the United States
grapples with more than 170,000
deaths and an infection rate of more
than five million from coronavirus.
But in its latest advisory last week,
the CDC placed St. Lucia at “Watch-
Level 1,” saying COVID-19 risk in St
Lucia is low, new cases are decreasing
or stable.”
St. Lucia welcomed its first commercial
flight on July 29, putting
several protocols in place for arriving
passengers.

Trinidad and Tobago Prime Minister,
Dr. Keith Rowley said there are
plans to bring back home some 2,000
nationals who are stranded abroad
since the country’s
borders were closed
on March 22 this
year.He is planning to
meet with National
Security Minister, Stuart Young to
devise a plan to discuss the repatriation
of citizens. He was speaking at a
recent news conference at the Diplomatic
Center.
Dr. Rowley, however, warned that
while exemptions will be granted,
transport home was another issue.
“We are going to minimize the
amount of exemptions granted,” he
said.
Dr. Rowley said the system would be
better prepared to take in those who
have been left outside of the borders
for the past eight months.
Trinidad and Tobago has recorded
35 deaths as of Monday, Aug, 7 with
2,300 positive cases of the COVID-19
virus.
