The Ministry of Health is “currently conducting a review” of the regulations “with a view to making adjustments to take effect from February 4,” Minister of Health Kim Wilson said.
Speaking at yesterday’s [Jan 27] press briefing, Minister Wilson said, “With respect to the public health legislation, the Ministry of Health is currently conducting a review of the Public Health [Covid-19 Emergency Powers] [Phased Re-opening] Regulations 2021 with a view to making adjustments to take effect from February 4.
“We are assessing a number of metrics including our vaccination rate and the Covid-19 indicators for the current outbreak. Additionally, and importantly, we are taking into account the Government’s shift to living with Covid which requires all of us to take personal responsibility for our actions.
“Not only is the Ministry reviewing the Emergency Powers Regulations, we are also reviewing the Quarantine [Covid-19] [No. 3] Order 2020. It is the Quarantine Order which establishes the traveller testing regime for air arrivals, cruise ship visitors and mariners. The aim is to re-set Bermuda’s travel requirements for April 1.”
