    Port Health Oficers will make the final determination the public is reminded that persons are placed in quarantine for stipulated periods based on their

    ongoing possibility of being COVID-19 positive, even after a previous negative COVID-19 result.

    The Health Services Sub-Committee of the National Emergency Committee urges all Vincentians

    to be aware of their health and to report any feelings of being unwell to health care providers

    Everyone must remain vigilant, comply with quarantine and isolation orders and all of the

    recommendations issued, relative to COVID-19.

    Adherence to the recommendations tor the conduct of mass gatherings, especially the smart use of masks, keeping a registry of persons attending events and hand hygiene, are extremely important as more persons from countries with active COVID-19 community spread, arrive in St. Vincent
