CAL staff in quarantine after ‘celebrity’ mask breach
(CNS): A Cayman Airways crew is currently in quarantine and some staff members have been suspended from duty after a breach of COVID-19 protocols aboard a Miami flight this weekend, when staff and passengers removed their masks in order to take pictures with actor Ron Perlman, who was on the Saturday flight. Cayman Airways Limited (CAL) issued a press release acknowledging that passengers and crew were caught on camera without masks in the cabin. The airline is now working closely with Public Health to determine the impact of the rule breaking and an investigation is now underway.
CAL management sought to reassure the public, stating in a release that all active Cayman Airways crew for international flights are fully vaccinated, and special safety protocols are in place to ensure that airline staff can perform their function with mitigated risk of contracting and transmitting the virus.
There has been no indication yet from Public Health how many people on the flight were carrying the virus because the test results have not been released. However, past test results demonstrated that the Miami flight continues to bring home residents and travellers who test positive on arrival at the airport despite previous negative tests.
Everyone on board will now be in quarantine for 14 days since the new reduction in quarantine for those who are negative on arrival and who have been fully vaccinated does not come into effect until today.
However, in the face of the continued strict protocols regarding the admission of travellers from overseas, there has been consistent public concern that the rules are not being applied equally and in some cases sanctions are not being applied.

Anonymous seems to be a schizophrenic having so many arguments among his self on this topic
Why is this even in the news? Who is this loser anyway?
1 to 5 comment on crucial issues: environment, education, corruption….
and close to 100 on this?????????????
You, people of the Cayman Islands, are really something else, not in a good way… I pity you.
We kinda like little punks like you!
@23/03/2021 at 8:55 am – Thanks for the pity! Now that you’ve gotten THAT off your chest, you can go back to dodging bullets at the supermarket, at your place of work, at your church, at school, at the movie theater, at concerts, etc., etc. etc.
But we’re the ones that should be pitied. Got it.
Yes please do not move to the US or UK. It is way too dangerous for ignorants.
Yes, 1:03, because there are no crimes, drugs, guns, gangs, or political scandals in Cayman, right? Of course not, your educational system is top- notch.
Can I sell you a nice piece of swampland next?
@27/03/2021 at 2:30 pm, yes we do have problems here in Cayman. But the point is that you can come here and enjoy life safely. Try doing that in your home country where your life can be taken away at any moment.
Kind of like driving on the roads in Cayman – life taken away any second
Really? We don’t have many traffic fatalities in Cayman, so you’re pushing nonsense.
Driving in Cayman is a piece of cake compared to driving in your home country, where people are slaughtered in road rage incidents, slaughtered in disagreements over parking spaces, slaughtered like animals in your twisted, gun-crazy society. But that is what you came here to get away from, isn’t it? POS.
You people in the Cayman Islands @8:55 3/4 of the … holes posting on here are your kind and no class. Talk about cussing ya brothers and siestas and cousins, huh.
Everyone can take off the mask to eat and drink. Everyone can take of the mask to wash your face. Show some bit of intelligence people. Taking off your mask momentarily for a good reason is What everyone does. Getting raked over the coals because you did it for a different reason shows the lack of reason in the world today.
It does when you know you are exempt from quarantining and are allowed to freely circulate in the community (a concession to flight attendants because they are first and foremost safety professionals and have agreed to adhere to the strictest protocols).
What that flight attendant did made her potentially every bit as dangerous to the community as Skylar Mack.
Dumb move!
Not really.
There are bigger things to worry about people, notice the plane is empty, you don’t think the employees take their masks off for a break when we aren’t on board. How about thanking them for a job well done so far. Put your big boys/girls pants on and deal with people.
Old Koulikov at it again. Always sticking his head into the line of fire.
Now now vasily….
All that for a guy “famous” for sticking a couple of Sausage McMuffins on this forehead.
As opposed to his Golden Globe and over 260 film and TV credits on IMDB?
A sizeable portion of the global population has become such a sad and pitiful lot. The world has turned into a rat ship.
They both have their masks under their chins, probably pulled down for 15 seconds for the snap. But it’s posted online, so someone must pay. You people hyperventilating need to work on getting a life.
hell boy!
Ron Jeremy rocks!
I don’t understand why the flight attendants posted their pictures.
Who breaks the rules and then posts the evidence?
Come on CAL you are better than this.
I expect an public apology from the flight attendants.
I understand that the flight attendants previously worked in the private sector but that shouldn’t be an excuse.
Papa Koulikov.
When they I.e the breachers come outa quarantine, lock all a dem in one cell for one week and fine them 10;00.00 each, that will teach dem rasa.
Why? Where they in Cayman when the photo was taken?
Cayman flagged aircraft so yes, they were in Cayman.
How much is 10;00.00???
Is this the new math they teach at school?
Even more reason to GET YOUR VACCINE CAYMAN!
Lol dont force your farce on us
I invite you to visit a Miami emergency room next week, without a mask. Stay a while and enjoy the atmosphere.
Rubbish.
Ron Who? He family to Joey?
Cheeeeeeese
What a. Bunch of idiots
And pray tell under what protocol is he being allowed to enter?
No wonder some of us are being sent London!
Exactly what I was pondering. Do we need to be rich and famous to circumnavigate the proticals? Rules are rules. They apply to everyone. Including me and You.
Can’t comment on the other story, but Cayman has never participated in the World Cup…
Cayman has often competed in World Cup qualifying groups, I’m that is what CNS is referring to in the that story.
Cayman may have never competed at the World Cup finals, however, it has competed at World Cup preliminary rounds for years.
Sensationalism over truth. Cayman, as most countries do, play QUALIFYING rounds. It has never, not even close, qualified to play in a World Cup.
Cayman should not even have it’s own Federation (or Olympic Committee for that matter).
Idiot!
Cayman does not have Federation and neither will it!
They may have meant CONCACAF?
And some of CONCACAF games form part of WC qualification.
And never will.
Aren’t there more important things to worry about?
And CAL if they have any kahunas will sack the flight attendants for bringing the company into disrepute … I suspect not though
2 oo pm. Yes fire them. They knew better but didn’t care , they have to be responsible for them actions
Nothing will happen to then.
Who the hell he think he is, he is just a next edat that don’t care about others
Can’t be a very successful celebrity flying CAL and not private. Remember rules only apply to some.
suspended with pay????
but of course….its our civil service where there no such thing as accountability
2:49. For the 100th time. CAL and other Government owned companies and Statutory Authorities are not part of our world class civil service. Zzzzzzzzzz
No. Its just that the taxpayer gets to pay for them. So forgive us in assuming that maybe they should be accountable.
I would risk it for Angelina Jolie but Ron Pearlman nah BoBo.
Would be understandable if it was Ron Jeremy
Ha Ha Ha not many people will get that!
Ron Jeremy is 68 years old, fat and charged with multiple counts of rape. How would it be understandable for CAL flight attendants to take off their masks for that?
You’ve obviously never seen any of the Hedgehog’s films…
“That” being something that doesn’t need a face mask.
The flight attendants should be in fact must be, named and shamed.
And fired.
Jailed for two months. But is seems like they are all escaping the penalties. other than Mack.
Interesting point. If I recall correctly, Skylar Mack had already had covid not that many months before her trip to Cayman, which I assume was the reason she did what she did (not that she tried to justify her actions later in her TV interview mea culpa). The flight attendants presumably did what they did on the basis that they had already been vaccinated. If an irresponsible 18 year old could be made an example of, then surely the same rule should apply to Cayman flight attendants who certainly should have known better.
And Vanjee
I agree as they are the first residents person will see when coming to Cayman on CAL therefore the likelihood of them catching anything (not only COVID) is even greater.
So the vaccine doesn’t work ? Or did the goal post move again , so now it’s two masks and how many vaccines before we have slowed the curve enough lol
Oh the horror..
But the rich and famous cant have covid!
Don’t blame Ron Pearlman, he will be quarantining regardless. The CAL crew messed up.
Exactly! Why is everyone so mad at Ron Perlman. Jeez – They asked him for a photo and he obliged.
People up here thinking he the one wanting photos of them!
These people need to calm the eF down. Now you’re jealous of an actor… Get over yourselves. Worry about something that really matters like the upcoming election instead.
Signed – RELEASE THE VIDEO
Yeah Joey, release the video.
What video?
But will he? If he is flying in for a production rather than a holiday, do you think that’s getting held up for 2 weeks pending his quarantine? Remember the past dispensations when essential workers on the airport project weren’t in quarantine. Wouldnt surprise me if there was a “bubble” around these two move productions underway, and Ron’s joining one of those. However, I am sure a simple statement from Dr Lee will resolve any doubt on the matter.
How about you FOI that and not speculate
Honorable Health Minister Seymour will get this straitened out right after he gets an autograph!
12.10pm You have just earned the award for ‘jackass of the day’. Hee haw.
I love the quotes on “celebrity”. Who tf wants to break protocol and risk everything to take a photo with Ron friggin Pearlman, who is terrible in everything he’s ever done?!
Ron Pearlman is awesome!
All should be brought in fron of a judge immediately including Mr. BIG shot who obviously don’t give a flying fart about our rules and regulations.
No right of privilege for ANYONE cabin crew or celebrity.
Dat wha ya get for mugging with Hellboy.
Of all the celebrities you’d risk your job for…
🙄🙀
Everyone spies on everyone…is it cultural?
Hardly spying if you post it on your own social media!
@22/03/21 at 11:51 am – in your home country, everyone SHOOTS everyone. Is it cultural?
Seriously. I think we are going stupid, with covid.
Not stupid, nuts! Homo-petrificus, petrified humans.
