Mask mandate remains in place, officials warn
(CNS): Restaurants and bars that are telling customers they no longer need to have masks and whose staff are no longer covering their faces are breaking the COVID-19 regulations, Public Health officials have said.
Despite the widespread flouting of mask mandates and social distancing rules, the regulations remain in place until the end of this first period of the phased return of cruise ships, the officials confirmed to CNS Friday. However, some relaxation of visitor restrictions has been implemented today.
Following numerous emails and messages from readers that well-known bars and restaurants in the Seven Mile Beach area were waiving mask mandates and telling customers that all regulations will be dropped this weekend, Public Health officials said the rules will not change until towards the end of April.
“The regulations currently in place include a mandate to wear masks indoors,” Public Health told CNS. “As mentioned at the last press briefing, the plan is to review the situation after several weeks of cruise tourism, and based on the findings, determine whether to maintain or amend the regulations. At this time, it would be premature to speculate on what changes may or may not come into effect.”
The current regulations require all individuals to wear a mask indoors if they are not able to socially distance, unless the person is unable to wear a mask or cloth face covering due to a medical condition or the person is otherwise exempted by guidance provided by the medical officer of health.
People sitting at their desks at work or school and customers of a restaurant or bar sitting at a table or counter do not need to wear a mask. But when entering and walking around customers should still cover their faces and staff should wear masks or cloth face coverings while serving customers.
However, government has made changes to the regulations relating to restrictions on visitors to the Cayman Islands.
Restrictions on travellers from countries with a vaccination rate lower than 60% for the first dose of an approved vaccine have been removed. Any vaccinated person can now travel to the Islands without being subject to quarantine on arrival if they complete the pre-arrival test, fill in the medical questionnaire and take a medical exam if a Customs and Border Control (CBC) Officer considers it necessary, submit a travel declaration form and have evidence to support it.
Unaccompanied Caymanian resident children or those with close ties under the age of 12 years, even if unvaccinated, will not be required to isolate if they are staying in a household where all other occupants 12 years and over are vaccinated.
Unaccompanied unvaccinated children will be required to quarantine if they are staying in a place where an unvaccinated person over the age of 12 is also residing. Unaccompanied unvaccinated visitor children are still not allowed to travel to the Cayman Islands.
Health and Wellness Minister Sabrina Turner said that “as we welcome the relaxation of additional travel restrictions, we cannot disregard how much compliance with COVID-19 regulations has contributed to us arriving to this juncture. With more persons arriving to our shores daily, I urge the public to remain aware by getting their COVID-19 vaccinations, including boosters, and following public health guidelines to prevent infection”.
Government has also stopped paying the costs of accommodation at a quarantine facility or isolation for most travellers. Most of the changes are expected to increase airline and visitor traffic at Owen Roberts International Airport by supporting more family travel this summer.
The Control of Covid-19 (Travel) (No. 2) Regulations, 2022 are scheduled to expire on 31 May 2022 and can be viewed here.

There’s something not quite right about this Health Minister, at the very least she does seem to be rather rude and i have no idea how she’s got a position in a public-facing role. I’m also not convinced she’s remotely qualified but in Cayman it seems that’s not a problem in the public or private sector anyhow.
As to Covid, i’m completely lost at this stage. People get covid wether they have 5 vaccinations or none or any number in between. People die with/from/of (who knows anymore, did we ever really know?) covid regardless of vaccination status – its all coming down to age/underlying illness..just like any illness.
Why there are any restrictions at all is perplexing. The Health Minister is pictured wearing a cloth mask – there are multiple reports on CNN and everywhere else that show these do not stop covid, the covid particles are not even 1/100th the size of the holes in the cloth. This is all completely bizarre behavior.
Why vaccinated people who have NOT had a booster or a 4/5th jab inside last 3 months think they are protected is beyond me, they are not protected. Your efficiacy is below 50%, its basically non existent. And yet, and yet, government think its normal to maintain quarantine on those who have not had any vaccine for covid whilst allowing those who are not protected but took a vaccine last year to avoid quarantine.
There is no science here guys, there is only naive politics. It must all end.
Actually, unless you are conspiracy theorist and don’t believe anything about the vaccines, you get long-lasting protection from serious illness and death, not catching the virus.
That’s the science – the boosters give you short-lived protection from catching it (to what degree seems to be in dispute).
Thank you 8:58!
Unquestioned acceptance is the answer to your Whys.

As for the behaviour of the Health Minister you are absolutely correct.
People are realizing that there’s not a truly compelling reason to visit Cayman. The “Island’s” fear of the covid bogeyman is only going to make rebuilding the economy more difficult. Sure, we can all list off the reasons that we love Cayman, but ease of travel to and from is one of the most important. Cayman is one of the very few places on earth that is still living in fear of a virus that isn’t going away. Everyone who wanted to get the shot has, time to move forward.
I trust Ms Turner has sent a memo to Covid headquarters to let them know the virus must wait until the end of April and coordinate with the mask mandate schedule?
…and SL14 doesn’t expire until the end of day May 31, 2022.
Mask up stop spreading this $#@%! around this island please People still dying you idiots.
Stop the cruise ships
The public is done with your mandates.
The public is done with her.
Up until Friday night Apr. 8, Maccabuca/Cracked Conch hadn’t gotten the memo – staff were unmasked.
Thanks for the heads up, I haven’t been for a while but not I’ll definitely be supporting them.
Then just stay home.
Try your cancel culture somewhere else and go back to your basement. I will support them even more now. They have common sense and great food!!!
Get rid of it all! Mask mandate, pre arrival testing, Travel Cayman. Accept the fact that things have changed. We are not in 2020 anymore. Let us move on with our lives. Trust people to make their own judgement! Persons who were vaccinated including booster shot are getting covid and isolating themselves. No different than getting the flu. You don’t feel well, you stay home. Simple as that. Get rid of it all before Easter so we could all enjoy the holiday as days gone by.
Wha a joke. Nuff of the fear…stuffs over with.
U.S. COVID update: Cases rise 10 days in a row, up 19% from last week.
– New cases: 22,523
– Average: 30,034 (+935)
– States reporting: 17/50
– In hospital: 13,542 (-40)
– In ICU: 1,986 (-5)
– New deaths: 492
– Average: 597 (-2)
It is definitely not over and facts prove this so.
Let’s welcome those thousands of cruise ship tourists from America!
Absolute BS!!
Get rid of the stupid PCR testing requirement as well for COVID positives. LFT tests work just fine.
Go back to school and get an education minister, also learn how to speak to adults in a proper manner whiles you are at it. This “failing upwards” gig is getting tiresome with this Pact of jokers
‘Whiles you are at it’. Such finesse in Cayman education that you don’t even realise the word should be ‘whilst’. Still, good effort, but must try harder.
I’d like to see the current science HSA is relying on that demonstrates that unvaccinated people who test negative pose a greater threat of transmitting the virus compared to vaccinated. It doesn’t exist.
So if you return home with your unvaccinated healthy 13 year old who tested negative, he or she will need to quarantine in the same house as other vaccinated adults as though they tested positive. After that, it makes no difference and no distinctions are made going forward.
What kind of idiotic reasoning is behind this and why are they doing this?
When I go to a restaurant I leave my mask on while I eat . I’m having a bit of trouble but I want to stay safe and protect the universe. I have noticed others eating with no mask on. I’m appalled
🤣😂
Pathetic!!
Sabrina gets yet another ticket to enter the Darwin Awards. How many 9-10 year olds do you think travel unaccompanied and unvaccinated to Cayman? Let’s see, they buy a ticket in say Toronto or New York and fly down to visit grandma & grandpa for a week🤔 somebody needs to buy this gal a ticket to reality, US, UK. Meanwhile Kenny keeps trying to qualify for the Darwin Awards by welcoming the over fed damn near dead crowd downtown.
One last thing Sabrina, how things going with the reorg and the pharmacy hon?
Recall Turner now. Fire all Public Health bureaucrats that are advocating for these policies. Ask forgiveness from all living on the Cayman Islands.
From the almighty Flying Spaghetti Monster? Count me in!
Can we stop with the mandatory insistence on sanitizer going into stores as well. I don’t want those chemicals on my hands, being this sanitized all the time is compromising my immune system.
Is it even legal for them to make you sanitize your hands? Not seen that in the legislation?
So true! God I don’t even know what this nasty mystery spray is, other than sticky PACT sadness. (I was going to say Something rude but figured it would be blocked.)
You are entering a private property.
That is true, however many people have religious or personal beliefs in regard to the use of alcohol and should not be forced to apply it to their person. It should be non-alcohol based if being used in a public access area.
Sanitiser has no real benefit in the spread of Covid as it is an airborne virus spread through minute droplets and inhaled within a confined space for 15 minutes or more. However, it does ensure that people who don’t wash their hands when leaving a washroom are at least clean. And that is far more important here on Cayman where it seems to be rare amongst certain demographics.
Masks, unless they are N or K95 and above are useless, helping to prevent isn’t the same as prevention and China is proving once again that mask mandates and mass lockdowns do not stop Omicron.
No religion ever had a rule against applying alcohol to the skin 🙄.
Or, you could simply not go.
So if it was acid they sprayed on your hands you would be ok with it as long as it was private property?
Hand sanitizer does nothing. The rest of the world learned two years ago that Covid is not spread through fomites (particles on physical items), but rather it is airborne.
Anyone advocating using hand sanitizer looks like a backward idiot who either to lazy to read the news, or too stupid to understand it. For visitors from the US and UK, we look like savages.
Ditch hand sanitizer, and let’s drop looking stupid.
The mask thing is so over. So many people not bothering and she can’t enforce it. The moment you allowed cruisesheep people to wander around in stores, taxis and buses you created two levels of rules and people will not tolerate it.
Party like it’s 2020! #OutOfTouch
Omg this Government I’d such a joke. They couldn’t even successfully run a 7-11 on a desolate stretch of alligator alley with no competition.
Everything here is a joke. Rules and laws mean nothing. No buainess or office is enforcing this, just as the police don not emforce most of the laws.
These jokes are everywhere, from malfeasence in agencies to the local tour boat operators taking starfish out of the water and justifying it as science and locals agreeing that its harmless, and we all know DOE won’t do a damn thing about it.
Inflation is also a joke. A gallon of petrol costs more than minimum wage and rent is out of control.
And you know what? Nothing will ever fundamentally change.
But at work we were told it’s recommended but not mandatory. So guess what, we have a lot (not all) of staff walking about without mask in the office. Pray tell…..
So Covid not only recognises that it must stop infecting people when bars close early, but it also understands that it mustn’t infect anyone who walks into an establishment with a mask on, then takes it off when sitting at a table.
It also knows that it can’t infect bar patrons if there are less than the government prescribed customer numbers present, or once the patron takes off their mask to enjoy conversation, food, and drink. Wow, that’s one clever bug.
Masks clearly do not prevent the spread of Covid, neither do lockdowns, otherwise the Chinese wouldn’t be locking down the biggest city in the world after two years of the same. The Chinese, along with many other Asian countries have worn masks in society and whilst travelling for decades, yet they are still in the grip of increasing infections.
The reason we can confidently question the effectiveness of masks is obvious, but what cannot be denied is the effectiveness of the vaccine regimes.
China is failing to control Covid because it has incredibly low vaccine rates in the face of Omicron coupled with the possibility of an ineffective vaccine in the first place.
Infection rates aren’t the problem, the failure to protect with vaccines to avoid serious illness and death certainly is. Pictures of politicians wearing useless cloth masks just compound the publics skepticism, everyone now knows the only really effective mask is an N95 or it’s equivalent, so why try and maintain a discredited edict and continue wearing a fashion accessory, not a proven protective device.
Get vaccinated and get on with living, masks should be kept for medical facilities and Halloween.
They all making us look like a fool!! Especially those that are vaccinated and still have to wear a mask mask 😷 that’s telling anyone with a little bit of common sense how fool our leaders is , to me if had to be vaccinated and turn around and wear a mask that would tell me right away that the mask is safer than the vaccine.
End of the story.
Seriously Dennis??…please go get vsccinated..
They said “trust the science, get vaccinated”. So now most of us have been, they no longer obviously trust it. Masks are a complete waste of time.
A good rule of thumb of the internet is that it fair to assume anyone who signs off with “End of” or “End of story” has nothing worth saying. The post above supports this proposition.
Surely with every press conference the confidence and trust in Sabrina Turner goes down. Stop patronizing us and talking to us like we are idiots.
The moment cruise tourism was allowed back, with no LFT testing, all other ‘covid restrictions’ became a joke.
The government and indeed this minister have proven themselves to be incompetent in all areas. I will not put up with finger wagging by a woman who cannot even memorize a few lines of a speech without looking down, or get her own department in order
I get around the mask mandate by permanently dining. Everywhere I go, I’m attached to a magical restaurant table and I’m always in the process of nearly eating, you see, covid doesn’t get you if you’re sitting at a dining table and holding a fork. It’s incredible
Almost as incredible as the qualifications our health minister has. Which are even worse than the previous donkey.
Covid regulations are farcical. Totally farcical
I go to the supermarket, Fosters , Cost-U-Less and Kirks and most persons do not wear a mask. If you tell the security, they act as if nothing is wrong.
I see cruise ship passengers travelling in taxis and public buses, NO MASK ON. Yet, locals are forced to wear mask on public transport. Mind you if you don’t wear a mask, no one, not even the taxi driver or bus driver will say a word to you about it.
When will PACT start policing the public transport mask mandate? This is wear it is most needed. Tight spaces, packed like sardines. Mask up please!!!!
You lost your argument when you started asking for policing of locals’ transport.
You should have stopped at the obvious disparity in treatment between the unknown visitor and the locals. Please don’t advocate for us to be strangled. Advocate for our rights and to be respected as individuals capable of making our own decisions about how we will take care of ourselves individually.
CNS should fact check certain comments before posting.
Everybody in fosters or costuless or any other place, is wearing a mask .
I understand the mask wearing will change, but not based on false statements.
Have you ever tried minding your own Business ?
You can mask up if you like, but leave the rest of us alone!
I’m still using the same mask from when this nonsense started. Haven’t washed it once. I guarantee they’ll catch more from my mask than they ever will from me.
@2;21pm..You do realise that you are the idiot and could contaminate your own self…Of course we all know what you are saying is more than farfetched..
Thats kinda gross :0
Not sure why they still insist on 24 hr per arrival Covid test. Very difficult for those transiting via US and need to overnight in US. At least 48 hrs ought to be considered. Cruise visitors don’t need any test
@2:08 your speaking common sense and sadly people that make these stupid rules are lacking in that department.
2.08pm It’s not difficult in MIA there’s a 24 hr walk in facility at the airport that gives you a printed result within 15 mins, I tried it. Downside is it costs $79 to appease Sabrina.
What a bullsh#t! Covid can not tell the difference between people in office without mask to mask wearing in shops! FREE THE MASK!
Free the face! End the mask mandate! No one cares anymore.
What about hardware stores? Asking for a friend.
the virus in now endemic…mask wearing should be your own choice.end of story.
Everyone seems to forget where experts think the pandemic orginated from.
Let’s see how China is doing…
At least 23 cities in China on full or partial lockdown, covering 193 million people – Reuters
Keep on denying science and the history of this pandemic.
They also run people over with tanks for protesting.
They are trying to achieve the impossible ,and reach zero Covid. You really need to read up on the news stories , and not just the click bait headlines.
Thanks for the update and yet another finger wagging warning, Sabrina. Here’s an update back at you. The mask mandate finished months ago when half the island contracted covid in the space of a few weeks despite travel Cayman and their immigration declarations, social distancing rules, vaccination requirements and all the other rules that it turned out made virtually no difference whatsoever. Not only that, the overwhelming majority of people that got it felt a little rough for a day or two and then got on with their lives, as we’ve known for well over a year now.
It turns out that grown adults with a reasonable understanding of risk/reward and sprinkling of common sense can actually come to their own conclusions on things as individuals and make their own call about whether or not they want to adhere to stupid rules that have zero grounding in logic.
It’s not march 2020. There is no health emergency. Making people wear masks made out of socks for the ten yard walk between the front door of a restaurant and their table does absolutely nothing except discourage custom. Which is why no one is bothering and why absolutely no one except for you cares.
Pastor Alfredo
love this! 100%
Hey pasta alfredo, At least 23 cities in China on full or partial lockdown, covering 193 million people – Reuters
Now, where did the pandemic begin?
Ah, you Sabrina doesn’t care about the risks – she is addicted to the feeling of power that she can impose rules on others. The fac that the original reason for the rules and restrictions has evaporated, and for that matter is being completely undermined by her colleagues desperate desire to get cruise ship tourism re-established, is not the point – get rid of the rules, and she would have nothing to wag her finger about. We should encourage her to start imposing rules and giving lectures about things that have a far greater impact on Caymanian health, like diet and Type 2 diabetes, or excessive drinking.
This government is run by nincompoops…. The stupidity
In which they publish confusing rules and regulations amounts to sheer idiocy yet they are still afraid to tell people that they have to get vaccinated . Instead make everyone else suffer because they can’t even mandate civil service to get vaccinated.
Pact of Cronies , Loser’s and Criminals
More than 80% of population is vaccinated with a good percentage having the booster.
Time for mask mandate and other regulations to be dropped. Let the mask wearing be voluntary. Disband ‘Travel Cayman.’
The current rules for air arrivals and cruise arrivals is so hypocritical and unfair.
I am so sick of hearing the phrase ‘we are following the science’ it should be ‘we are following the politricks’.
More than 8%? More like more than 90% according to public health. Over 95% of adults.
How about a Task Mandate, start with an order to complete the link road ending on North Church St. It’s been left so long it looks like the remains of an ancient Roman road in Celtic Britain.
Good one!
CIG has no regard for the quality of life for the people of these islands. Anything to make a quick buck is fine by them. They say they don’t want to spread Covid, but have no problem bringing in thousands of people a day that aren’t tested prior to arrival, cram them into buses, and take them to every corner of the island. They should’ve never allowed ships to come back until the masks are off.
They are all tested before arrival.
“Facts” is a great pseudonym for someone talking complete BS. No they are NOT tested before arrival from their last port of call where they could have contracted it. Unless they are symptomatic. Otherwise, free to roam. Because the cruise lines said it would be too difficult to manage. LOL.
They were all tested before the got on the boat in Florida. Then they get off in how many different places before the floating cesspool stops here.
If cruise ship passengers don’t need to be tested before they waddle off then the testing requirements for people coming in via air need to be dropped
Upvote if you want the mask mandate to end immediately.
Downvote if you want the mask mandate to continue longer.
At least 23 cities in China on full or partial lockdown, covering 193 million people – Reuters
Science deniers unite!
You are a freedom denier Tom Joad. I posted a link that showed desperatevand upset fellow human beings crying and screaming out their windows in Shanghai as the authoritarian Red Chinese government locks down the people. Disgusting abuse of power by the Commie globalist bastards.
Wow. According to this poll, a solid 90% of people don’t want to wear masks it seems.
so tell me again, why do I have to get a LFT before arriving to the island, and yet three cruise ships the other day were just allowed to empty their filthy ship of passengers who were free to walk around with no LFT test. Riddle me that one?
And pile into buses mask free!
They all took tests before arriving on said boat just as anyone arriving by plane takes a test before they board the plane. What rules are you reading? Fantasy ones? Cayman being first port of call is ensuring your safety.
Do you really need us to post links to the itineraries of those ships? We are not all as stupid as you.
Except Cayman isn’t the first port of call, is it now? MSC Seashore, the 5000 plus boat, will stop in Ocho Rios before coming here. Carnival Pride stopped in Costa Rica and Panama before hitting our shores today. So where did you get that first point of call BS from? You just believe what Kenny said ages ago? For heavens sake, the ships itineraries are readily available on the internet.
Maybe I can sell you a bridge to Little?
Except we are not the first
port.
Was Cayman the first port of call? Is every crew member tested? Interactions with ground staff at piers in Miami, etc. Total non sense with one rule for one mode of transport and one for another
Cayman is not the first port of call and how many places did those passengers get off and visit before coming to Cayman.
If cruisers don’t have to test before they get off the boat here why do people arriving by air have to test.
The rules are a joke, just like the elected officials that make the rules
Cause unlike the Florida Cruise Association, Kenny doesn’t have a – personal interest – in you or what you want.
We have had enough of this damn MASKuerade.
So we have to keep wearing masks because In case cruise ship tourism increases our infection rates? How about we get rid of the cruise shippers and the masks? Win win.
Sadly, the Minister was at an event at Parliament mask-less
Not for the photo!
See the post below, click the link, look at the photo carefully.
I present to you Exhibit A Minister Turner
https://www.gov.ky/news/press-release-details/youth-parliamentarians-score
Please don’t put any pics of Bush the beater up, its makes me vomit in my mouth.
Do as I say not as I do! Seems that’s the motto for most Govt representative’s!
Absolutely disgusting that PACT values their own citizens less than cruise ship passengers.
How many you locked up so far Sabrina?
Why? WHY do we need ti be under a mask mandate still? UK, US, Canada etc have gotten rid of these, yet here we still are. It is disgusting that there are any mandates at all left or hoops we still need to jump through to travel. Especially since cruise shippers are exempt. How dare Sabrina give us another lecture on complying. This is NOT science based. It’s fear and incompetence based. “Just because you said so” isn’t good enough. We need to stand up for ourselves.
Arrange a convoy and create gridlock until all mandates are lifted.
Oh wait, that occurs already in Red Bay/Grand Harbour.
Think of all the money government can make by fining cruise ship passengers! If the rules are still in place, enforce them!
Why not fine all the people living here – including Caymanians that usurp the law? Oh wait, we have to fine our friends and family? LOL
Sat yesterday in the departure lounge at the Grand Cayman airport. Plenty of people with their masks pulled down under their chins. A few didn’t even go that far to fake it — they didn’t wear a mask and didn’t show any sign of possessing one. Lots of CIAA, CBC and CAL workers walking through and never said a word at the offenders. A rule ain’t worth a thing if it’s not enforced. Either get with the program or lose the rule.
Should we not expect a clown show from a bunch of clowns?
“Should we not expect a clown show from a bunch of clowns?”
This is it. These clowns, even if they were interested in formulating policies for the betterment of Cayman, they can’t. They don’t possess those skills and aren’t interested in obtaining them. Also, good governance would obstruct “The grift”.
Why are they still stopping the unvaccinated from traveling to the country when it is obvious that the vaccine does not stop anyone from catching covid and the vaccinated is running around infecting everyone.
Did you read the article properly? It is stating exactly the opposite of your assumption.
Show me where it says an unvaccinated adult can enter the country that isn’t a citizen?
They even discriminate against the vaccinated with the 60 percent vaccinated rule, just for them to enter.
No only youth under 12 staying with vaxxer are exempt. Ridiculous.
Still??? Repeating incorrect info over and overdoesn’t make it correct.
“Any vaccinated person can now travel to the Islands without being subject to quarantine on arrival if they complete the pre-arrival test, fill in the medical questionnaire and take a medical exam if a Customs and Border Control (CBC) Officer considers it necessary, submit a travel declaration form and have evidence to support it” those are the words of the article, tell me where it says unvaccinated can enter the country when we full well know the vaccines don’t stop you from catching covid, they only helps you in the fight of covid, and trust me if it the vaccinated we are supposed to be afraid of how did covid come to Cayman if it is only the vaccinated allowed to enter?
So residents are still subjected to this draconian mask rule but cruise ship passengers, crowded onto local busses, are not? Great job PACT. You will Never get my vote again.
Funny, because you never see government officials following these protocols anymore either. We literally got to see a livestream of members of government and the civil service failing to adhere to these regulations while they handed out awards (in a twist of irony) for activities related to outstanding service in 2020 in the context of the pandemic. This government is a joke.
That episode of the Franzies was perhaps the most embarrassing yet.
What a bullsh#t! Covid can not tell the difference between people in office without mask to mask wearing in shops! FREE THE MASK!
All governments turn out to be a joke!
Gawd I’m so sick of hearing about mask mandates, social distancing and covid. It’s here, it’s not going anywhere, cases will cycle up and down. And can someone please explain to me how wearing a mask when you walk in a restaurant or bar then take it off the moment you sit down helps or has ever helped reduce the spread of Covid? Covid doesn’t spread when you are seated? You breath more when you are walking? I’ve never understood the “science” behind this rule and it’s been used all over the world…but did it, does it or will it ever make a difference?
It’s hard to understand a “science” that doesn’t exist.
You can still spread Covid when you are seated and speaking to others at the table. Droplets of spit comes out of your mouth when you speak and lands on the plates of others at your table and theirs on your plate – – enjoy your meal!!! HAHA
All BS. 8,000 cruise shippers can come ashore and walk in and out of shops and restaurants without a mask but all the local slaves must adhere to the nonsensical mandate. What a joke this country truly is. Time to move to Florida.
I was recently on the island as a cruise ship passenger. We were told aboard the ship of the covid rules and mask wearing before we arrived. Any stores or restaurants that we went into, we wore our masks. All of the stores that we visited had signs posted and we followed them. Very unfair to say that all cruise ship passengers were exempt from any rules of your island.
well off to the airport then you pompous arse
