Coronavirus: British, French and Dutch join forces in the Caribbean 🇬🇧 🇫🇷 🇳🇱 gov.uk/government/new…

#Anguilla, like the #UK, has direct borders with #France and The #Netherlands, as such we are pleased to note that they are joining efforts in dealing with the #COVID19 crisis in the #Caribbean, where it is now recognised that people are highly vulnerable to the disease.

Anguilla currently has no cases of COVID-19 thedailyherald.sx/islands/anguil…

No active or suspected COVID-19 cases in Anguilla. Churches, places of worship, retail stores, hair salons & barber shops, accommodation suppliers, gyms & spas, recreational facilities, official lotteries, restaurants & bars can re-open from today beatcovid19.ai/covid-19-updat…

An oxygen generating station for Princess Alexandra Hospital was installed and commissioned for use this week. For the first time, the Health Authority of Anguilla 🇦🇮 can generate its own oxygen.

After successful testing, quarantines & treatment of 3 #COVID19 victims, #Anguilla now leads #British nations in easing its #lockdown measures & with a 90% indigenous population, many of whom are vulnerable, may prove a useful case study on the risks to the #UK’s #BAME community.

We have uploaded two publications to our website: westindiacommittee.org -The West Indian City: The History of the Caribbean and The Square Mile westindiacommittee.org/wp-content/upl… -The West India Committee Circular: Spring 2020 westindiacommittee.org/wp-content/upl… We hope you enjoy reading! #StayHome

The The Royal Mint join many across the #UK, including Royal British Legion, in commemorating #VEDay, marking the beginning of the end of #WW2, by issuing a £2 coin by the designer, Dominique Evans. Learn more of this inspiring coin as we face our own battles today: royalmint.com/our-coins/rang…

Today, I attach a new article that reflects some of the little known facts about the #Caribbean, such as the majestic #wildlife that frequent the region that are protected by institutions such as the International Whaling Commission.

On this #VEDay spare a thought for the 1000s of men & women who faithfully defended their Mother Country. Many came from the #Caribbean, spawning the #Windrush generation who fight bravely in the #UK’s war on #Covid19, protecting the #NHS despite being up to 4x more likely to die

The Governor's Office wishes to advise the public that the Minister of Health and Social Developent has signed regulations to extend the closure of Anguilla's borders to passenger movement until 31 May 2020. facebook.com/16852610999667…

Important though firsts like Supt Robert Branford (1817-1869), Anguilla-born PC Norwell Roberts and Jamaica-born WPC Sislen Fay Allen are, we're always looking to broaden our collections on how the Met has reflected London's #diversity. #MuseumsUnlocked #caribbean #IAW2020

As the proud daughter of two Windrushers & a proud West Indian, I wish you all a Happy #WindrushDay! Great #Windrush projects that will educate, inspire & entertain, are listed on the Ministry of Housing, Communities & Local Gov website. Brilliant digitalising means these projects can go global, so spread the word!

An excellent inaugural meeting of the #Windrush Cross Government Working Group, chaired by the Home Secretary, Priti Patel MP. The potential for sustainable, positive change in the interests of #Britain as a whole is palpable and I look forward to working hard to that avail.

Farewell to the #British Overseas Territory of #Anguilla 🇦🇮
