Quarantine facilities in Grenadaย will face removal from the Ministry of Healthโs approved quarantine facility list, if theirย employees are not fully vaccinated.
June 1, 2021 was the deadline given by the Ministry of Health for all quarantine facilitiesย to ensure that their staff members are fully vaccinated.
The Ministry of Health, in collaboration with the Grenada Tourism Authority, last weekย embarked on the inspection of various quarantine sites across the island, a process gearedย towards ensuring that the workers and quarantined individuals remain safe.
Starting on Wednesday, the Ministry of Health will begin issuing warning letters toย properties that are not in full compliance with this stipulation. If remedial action is notย immediately taken, these properties will be delisted as quarantine facilities, effectiveย Friday, June 4, 2021.
Health Minister, Hon. Nickolas Steele explained that a quarantine facility can be reinstatedย when it complies with the requirements to ensure that all persons employed at the facilityย are vaccinated.
At Tuesdayโs Post Cabinet Press Briefing, the Minister also provided clarification on theย approval lists maintained by the Ministry of Health and the Grenada Tourism Authority.
The GTA list identifies properties which have completed the relevant training of staff andย have been certified for opening. In the case of hotels, this applies to homestay guests only.
The Ministry of Health list on the other hand, specifically identifies properties that areย recognized as quarantine facilities.
The Minister further explained that a facility may be removed from the Ministry of Healthโsย approved list, but still be allowed to remain on the GTAโs list.
