BASSETERRE, St. Kitts (Friday 4th June 2021) — St. Christopher Air and Sea Ports Authority (SCASPA) is undertaking a review of its COVID-19 policies after 17 members of staff were placed in quarantine as part of contact tracing related to the recent COVID-19 outbreak. At least one SCASPA employee and one employee from a stakeholder company conducting business at the ports tested positive. SCASPA announced as of 3rd June 2021 that 62% or 200 of its approximately 323 employees had been vaccinated.
PM Harris, at his monthly press conference on Thursday 3rd June, confirmed the government has not endorsed SCASPA’s earlier vaccination entry notice: “The government has not endorsed that policy and that has been communicated to SCASPA. The Attorney General will develop a policy from which all entities will get their guidance.” The CMO confirmed that within the last 24 hours St. Kitts-Nevis recorded one additional case (Case 75), bringing total confirmed cases to 85 — 61 in St. Kitts and 14 in Nevis — with 48 fully recovered and zero deaths. All active cases are stable.
