No Positive Covid-19 Cases On Flight From UK
The Ministry of Health confirmed that there were no positive Covid-19 cases on Friday’s British Airways flight from England.
Premier David Burt tweeted, “The Ministry of Health can confirm that there were no positive Covid-19 cases on Friday’s BA flight. We apologise to passengers who have not received their results yet. This is due to external block on an email server.
“We are working to resolve the issue but in the interim we can confirm that BA passengers with a valid pre-departure test are no longer required to quarantine. Those who landed without a pre-departure test must remain in quarantine.”

Why is this information in a tweet from the Premier? There is a Government Communications Department complete with a Minister of Communications. Shouldn’t they be sending out such information? What is their role in Communications that costs the taxpayers $3m a year? Seems it is an employment agency.
Transparency in these matters is sadly lacking.How many passengers on the BA flight were returning residents and how many visitors and how many of each had pre-departure tests?
We shouldn’t be letting more people in who could possibly have the virus we are doing well but if we keep allowing people to COME in it could be different.
