Le confinement à domicile le dimanche commence à 5 dans l'après midi, du Nov. 7 au Dec. 2.

The Cabinet of Ministers has decided to introduce a 5 p.m. start time for

home confinement on Sundays, effective Nov. 7 to Dec. 2. This change will also be applied to the time when cruise visitors return to their ships. This change is being introduced with the condition that the sale of alcohol on

beaches and public places will not be allowed. The Royal Saint Lucia Police Force has been instructed to take the strongest action to ensure compliance with the protocol, especially in high-risk areas.

We should ALL be concerned that our actions and inactions do not lead to a 5th wave after the festive season. Your health is first and foremost YOUR responsibility.
