JUNE 17TH 2020

The Repatriation team continues to make arrangements for repatriating Anguillians from the Caribbean region, the UK and the US.

The Process

– 478 persons located in 23 countries have registered their interest in returning to Anguilla.

-355 applications processed by the Immigration Department are deemed eligible to return to Anguilla.

As of 16 June, 2020, there are 37 people in self-quarantine and 64 persons are in a GoA approved and monitored quarantine facility for a total of 101 persons repatriated. Currently no COVID-19 results pending.

Quarantine – a reminder

Immediately on arrival, everyone returning will be assessed by medical personnel. They will also be tested for COVID-19. Following medical assessment and tests, all returnees will go through Immigration and Customs and then proceed to their quarantine location to begin the mandatory quarantine period for a minimum of 14 days.

Health professionals will monitor everyone throughout their quarantine period. This will include visits and calls to those self-quarantining. Anyone reporting or showing symptoms of COVID-19 will be managed appropriately. The legal quarantine period is 14 days in either an approved facility for self-quarantine or in one of the government run facilities. By law, this period cannot be reduced and individuals found breaching the regulations will be sanctioned. At the end of the 14 days, a second COVID-19 test will be taken and if clear the individual will be released from quarantine.

As per the Public Health (Temporary Closure of Ports) (Amendment) Regulations, 2020 all ports in Anguilla remain closed for passenger movements until June 30, 2020 with the exception of persons qualified to be repatriated in accordance with the relevant COVID-19 Public Health Regulations and Rules.
