St Vincent govt considers suspending flights from US

Kingstown – The St Vincent and the Grenadines government has hinted at the possibility of suspending flights from the United States after the island recorded 12 cases of the coronavirus (COVID-19) after reopening its borders to international flights.
The authorities said that of the 12 cases associated with the American Airlines (AA) flight 945, which brought 155 people here on July 11, only one person was not a passenger on the flight.
Another AA flight, also from Miami, arrived here last Saturday, and health officials said that four cases of COVID-19 were detected among the passengers.
The National Emergency Management Organisation (NEMO) said on Sunday night there were 21 active cases of the respiratory illness in the country, including two cases, the origins of which health officials were unsure about and were investigating.
“What has happened is this: in the United States of America and particularly in Florida and other places, there is a big flare up [of COVID-19] and we tightened the protocols on the second flight and we are tightening the protocols on the third flight.
