We, the people of St. Kitts and Nevis, are living at a time when most of us are unaware of so many realities. There was apparently a recent breach of the inbound travel arrangements which may have resulted in two infected persons being at large and making contact with an unknown number of persons. Not once did the government come anywhere close to providing a satisfactory explanation as to why the breach occurred, or why it took so long to disclose the occurrence.
These failings have left a number of persons wondering if they had inadvertently been exposed to the carriers of the virus. No government must be allowed to get away with blowing facts on COVID-19 — all facts must be presented to the public timely and accurately, leaving no room for doubt, confusion and worry. For a long time there have been growing concerns that the island of Nevis has been abused as an entry point into the country. Efficient border control for both islands during this pandemic period is critical. These critical times call for national leadership and management to steer along a healthy development course.
