Extended curfew will run for 7 days! Residents can only access basic supplies via home deliveries

A view of empty streets on Tortola.

Government has decided that the extension of the 24-hour lockdown will last for seven consecutive days.

Just before midnight on Saturday, Premier Andrew Fahie announced during a live public broadcast that the extended curfew will run from 6 am on Sunday, April 19 to Saturday, April 25.

“This is important to containing any spread of the virus and to allow the health officials the time they need to do thorough contact tracing,” Premier Fahie said while urging residents to ‘keep their minds open to any possibility’.

During these seven days, gas stations will only be open to serving essential workers. Premier Fahie said supermarkets, pharmacies, cooking gas suppliers, and water-delivery services will also be open but only for making deliveries.

He underscored that only approved supermarkets will be permitted to offer these delivers.

“Cabinet agreed that the delivery of provisions will be prioritised for seniors and vulnerable [residents] … All other businesses not specified above are to be closed for the duration of the extended curfew period,” Fahie said.

As for more vulnerable residents experiencing hardships, the Premier said government will be financing home deliveries of basic food packages.

He said Cabinet will be meeting tomorrow to finalise the logistics surrounding home deliveries of food and medication.

In the meantime, government is yet to give an update on the near-two dozen samples that have been sent to the Caribbean Public Health Agency in Trinidad for COVID-19 testing.

Let’s help each other through this additional 7, and for those who don’t have debit/credit cards please reach out and those who have much please reach out too. Be mine another keeper.

From the looks of them, the Premier and his Minister of Health don’t have any problem accessing food. But now all the rest of us do – whether we have money or not!

    The super markets does not have the capacity to fulfill orders for home delivery. Certain supermarket has pull down their online ordering due to extremely high demand. For others, it normally takes 3 + days for your order to reach your door, now, it will take much longer. PEOPLE ARE OUT OF FOOD AND HUNGRY!!!!

    One week is a suffering duration to wait for a household WITH NO FOOD LEFT. And what about those with no monies who have been contacting FSN, RED CROSS and Social Development for days with no relief. Even those with monies to buy groceries will also suffer due to no access to food.

    Open up the super markets in no more than 2 days and let the authorities prioritise catching and then harshly prosecute the escapees.

      This is NIGHTMARE in the making. So in a few hours Cabinet is going to figure out an algorithm for home delivery for an entire territory?????

      There are so many cases and factors to to consider.

      Order FullFillment
      – How many employees will be filling orders
      – How many hours per day will the stores be open
      – The average time per order
      – What can be ordered
      – What to do about items NOT in stock (ignore, or communicate with the customer [additional time])
      – SANITATION MEASURES FOR FULLFILLMENT

      Delivery
      – How many drivers will be available
      – The average time for delivery
      – How to communicate addresses efficiently.
      – Everyone does not accross from so and so
      – SANITATION MEASURES FOR DELIVERY

      Payment
      – How is the order cost communicated
      – Are drivers accepting payment (cash/card machine) or does one have to pay by phone
      – People with credit/debit cards only.
      – People with cash only.
      – People with no cash or card.
      – People with checking accounts only (A HUGE BUSINESS RISK)

    I think there is a lot of lessons to be learn from this pandemic. I know a lot of people out of jobs right now but this too shall past. Moving forward everyone not just BVI where ever you are should invest in Emergency food and also government and non profit organizations should have a food bank that would ease some of the panic and frustration on the populace that would help a great deal. Me and my husband being a dooms day person and thinking about what could happen if a Natural disaster happen and we are not able to get food we have 1 year supply of freeze food which when we told our friends about it they laugh at us and thought we were crazy now every one calling us to say we are smart. It really hurts my hear to read the pain and suffering of people in the BVI one of my favorite vacation spot.Dont worry we will get through this together. I wish I was in a position to help it can’t be easy but God is good he don’t gives us more than we could bare.

        It’s not a shortage of food. The grocery stores between them are stocked for months. It is a shortage of manpower, time and resources to get it to people.

  9. How... says:

    …do we expect the supermarkets to suddenly implement and coordinate mass delivery when home delivery is not something that is generally available? Even if RTW, OneMart etc did already have reliable and efficient home delivery systems they would never be able to cope with the demand of everyone suddenly wanting it at the same time.

    We now need to open essential food and medical services. Scale back the previous reopening plans – no beauty salons, no construction or hardware stores etc., but allow people to go the food shops and pharmacies, exercising social distancing, sanitization etc. Allow the mini marts to open to ease the burden and strongly encourage people who are not yet in great need to delay their shopping for a few days. Care packages can still be provided to those in need.

  14. Diaspora says:

    Government prime responsibility is to protect life. I supported government strong and relatively swift effort to prevent, contain, control and mitigate Covid-19, ie, physical distancing, closing the border, 24-hour lockdown………etc. However, its approach for residents accessing and replenishing food supply after 14 days of 24-hour lockdown is flawed. The supermarkets don’t have the resources to logistically deliver food in a timely, efficient and effective manner.

    The following is a suggested action plan:

    1. Work with supermarkets to open from 6:00 am to 10:00 pm for two days
    2. Give seniors (65 or 70?) and special needs citizens the priority to shop from 6:00 am to 8:00 am.
    3. Let customers shop by first letter of title (surname); one person per family
    4. Let customers shop only for basic food staples, ie, water, rice, meat,…..etc; over flowing baskets are not needed at this time
    5. Enforce a strict 100% identification policy (no exception)
    6. Shame the selfish customers that try to abuse the system
    7. Deploy police to ensure people go home from supermarkets visit

    Please just send around an extra truck with the essential supplies along with the normal refuse collection trucks. Monday, Wednesday and Friday home deliveries would be fine!

    Who want to pay because they dont want to feel like they getting government handout, could just make a donation to the cause, on delivery.

    Each box should contain bottled water, bread, sugar, personal supplies (hand soap, bar soap, toothpaste, and the like), snack stuff (for adults and children), flour, oil, fruits and vegetables(because we know the damn fruits and veg in the shop going spoil by time it reopen), oil, canned foods, milks, cereals, cleaning products (dish liquid, bleach, clothes detergent if you please).

    Now, additional special boxes containing diapers, wipes, baby soap, baby food, baby snacks and baby formula should be packed separately in case there are babies or toddlers in the family. Put everything on government bill. The social security contributions should cover it.

    Make sure we practice safe distancing when making the deliveries. Everybody good? Let’s go.

  17. Red Flag! says:

    You cannot deny people the necessary privileges to go and buy food and medicine in an organized way. Yes, have the curfew in place, but people should be allowed to go and buy food and essentials.

    Also, they should be able to go for a short walk for their mental wellness. Restaurants should be able to offer takeout, and other essentials should operate sensibly.

    This model is ruining the economy for all and is not sustainable. If there is no social welfare in a country, the country MUST work. What about the business community? Are they just supposed to survive and continue to pay workers when they cannot trade in a limited capacity?

    MAYBE the last 14 days could have been spent preparing a plan about how to open the essential economy by using the resources of police to manage it properly and enforce rules. Imagine that!

    I usually do not post to get into social matters, however, this need to be said.

    While I commend the government for making an unfavorable decision admits the COVID-19, that may prevent the community spreading of the virus, supermarket regulations need to be implemented.

    Some supermarkets online shopping delivery requirements are as follows: “100 dollars minimum order” “40 items minimum” and some are $80 minimum. Now for some this may not be such a bad idea, but for others this is putting them between a rock and a hard place – they have to decide to hang their hats where their hands cannot reach or do without.

    Have any consideration been done about persons who may only have $50 dollars allotted for groceries, or is only in need of water or may just need fruits and vegetables? And what about persons who do not have access to a Visa Debit Card or a Credit Card?

    Further, not everyone shop at one supermarket. For economic reasons many persons ‘shop around’. Now they are forced to buy 40 items at one shop or spend their remaining $100 at one store.

    And let us not talk about the supermarkets whose prices have suddenly increased (Yes, shoppers are paying attention to how an item that use to cost $6.49 is now $10.59) Maybe I am overthinking this.

    How long will the government continue to allow the supermarkets to rape the nation?

Allow them to continue to rub shoulders in the supermarkets and let nature do the rest. You have done your best now treat them like adults. If they die, they die.

    I know for sure the hospital isn’t equipped for a major disaster that this could be. Maybe 10 infected can receive adequate care simultaneously but I still wouldn’t bet on it, but if the infected rise to 20 or more they can’t handle that especially if they are as sick as the lady that die was.

    Let them out of their cages. Allow them to receive the sharp edge of the sword. The blood will not be on your hands. Our destiny is already written let’s see how it played out. They don’t care as much as you so why should you care?

Realistically a few big bags of rice and flour should last weeks and cheap enough for everybody but nah y’all want to eat big.

        People took the Government at its word that there would be a fourteen day quarantine that was actually supposed to end on April 16 originally. Then, after many had already shopped on their assigned day, it shifted to April 20. Now its being extended by another seven days and we were supposed to be prepared for that? Stop apologizing for this government that you are probably a part of and getting paid to stay home. It should say what it means and mean what it says. I guess that’s a novel concept to some.

          Those people are idiots. Now they on social media begging. COVID19 is not a puppet on a string to be controlled. No government can predict the future. Some people know something usually cost a $1.00 they will walk with exactly one dollar then they go in the store the price increase by 25cents then they cant buy it. Be prepared. The Premier say 2 weeks prepare for longer. I bet y’all get sense now. Why should they allow us to shop and y’all dont have any sense. They keep saying stay 6 ft away in the stores but ayo all up under people armpits.

    Imagine we the people are being punish because government didnt do their job and treat the lady properly when she first came to the hospital and again when they fail to ensure that these people didnt run off the property when they should being in quarentine.

    Yet they no problem using exessive force on a young boy going for water. Or threaten to lock up people because they dare to express themself.

    By right government need to go around top up everyone groceries free of charge because all of this is because of their negligence.
