CHARLESTOWN, Nevis - MANAGEMENT at the Four Seasons Resort on Nevis is said to be cooperating fully with investigations into two breaches of the quarantine protocols by two groups that were said to be vacationing in place, reportedly at the facility.
The National Covid-19 Task Force reported that over the last weekend, there were two breaches at a facility on Nevis; one on Thursday (Mar. 11) and the other in the early hours of Saturday (Mar. 13).
In a statement, the Task Force said: “Investigations into the matter have revealed that the first of these two incidents occurred on Thursday evening and involved two (2) guests who illegally left the resort’s premises for approximately two (2) hours. The second security breach took place after midnight on Saturday morning and involved six (6) guests who also managed to leave the resort’s compound without authorisation.”
SKNVibes understands that they were reportedly present at two popular night spots, but the NEOC’s statement did not identify where the guests went to hangout.
However, local media house WINN FM had contacted the Four Seasons for a comment to which they issued a statement.
“This past weekend, guests of a group visiting Four Seasons Resort Nevis violated ‘Vacation in Place’ guidelines and in accordance with local protocols were placed in a government isolation site. Additionally, the government suspended the ‘Vacation in Place’ designation for the remainder of the group. The Resort has been in full cooperation with local authorities from the time we were made aware of the violations. We take all government-issued Covid-19 regulations seriously and actively communicate all relevant information to guests both prior to and upon arrival to ensure they are aware of local regulations. The health and safety of our guests, residents, employees, and community remain our top priority.”
SKNVibes understands that five persons who were in the group but did not breach quarantine had departed the Federation yesterday (Mar. 16) morning, while the others remain under strict protocols.
Deep contact tracing is said to still be ongoing.
