Travel Cayman is working with the Public Health Department and the Royal Cayman Islands Police to respond to and safely conclude its response to several suspected quarantine breaches that took place on Saturday (September 11) and Sunday (September 12).
Following four suspected breaches Saturday and three Sunday, Travel Cayman continues to remind individuals quarantining at residence that only persons making contactless deliveries should visit their properties.
The penalties for anyone who fail to follow this rule, are up to two years in jail and a maximum KYD10,000 fine, upon conviction.
Emphasising that these requirements carry the weight of law and will be strictly enforced, Deputy Governor Franz Manderson comments: “I wish to assure the public that every report of a suspected breach is investigated by Travel Cayman, Public Heath and the RCIPS. It is clear that despite numerous warnings a small percentage of travellers and members of the public are not taking the laws and regulations governing quarantine at residence seriously.”
“I am aware that two cases concerning a breach of quarantine at residence will be in court next week. It may be that further cases involving quarantine breaches may come before the court in short order. It would be unfortunate if criminal prosecution is required for travelers and the wider public to take these matters seriously and abide by the quarantine restrictions in place”, the Deputy Governor adds.
