BASSETERRE (Friday 11th December 2020) — Event organizers in St. Kitts-Nevis are being advised about new guidelines governing permissions for events, including caps on attendance, based on whether there will be music, dancing, alcohol, and whether the event is indoors or outdoors. COVID-19 Task Force member Dr. Cameron Wilkinson said event sizes will be in three categories: small (25–50), medium (51–100) and large (101–150), with no indoor event to exceed 100 persons. A minimum of 30 square feet per person is required for adequate social distancing. “We are asking organizers not to advertise events until permission is obtained. We’ve seen situations where persons have been advertising events, people end up buying tickets, and then if they’re not given permission we have problems,” he said.
