Good evening Bermuda.

Thank you for joining us tonight as we outline our country’s next steps for Moving Beyond the Pandemic.

First let me begin by extending my condolences to the families of Mr. Marvin Lambe, and Mr. Eugene Thomas who sadly lost their lives after separate serious road traffic accidents on Tuesday. Our thoughts and prayers are with their families, and friends, as well as all other persons involved in the accidents as they recover from their injuries. I ask everyone to please drive with care and caution on our roads at all times.

Good evening Bermuda,

As we begin to move into Phase 2 with the relaxing of some of the regulations, I will provide a general overview on the following:

1) Curfew Exemptions;

2) Large Group Exemptions;

3) Enforcement by the Bermuda Police Service; and

4) Quarantine Guidelines for non-immunised persons.

Even though some restrictions are being rolled back, these continue to be concerning times for our community.

And as we work to manage the COVID-19 virus it's important that we remain vigilant.
