Good news to report this stormy morning. The Cayman Islands has been removed from the EU's Non-Cooperative Tax List. See below for more info. Stay safe!

With Hurricane Delta just over 100 miles to the southwest of the Cayman Islands, and expected to soon strengthen to a category 3, the National Hazard Management Council is calling for members of the public to stay indoors, stay safe and above all stay off the water. (NHC Image)

#Cayman has officially been removed from the #EU blacklist. Hear what Cayman Islands Government Financial Services Minister, the Hon. Tara Rivers, JP has to say in her response here.

'All Clear' to be given at 1pm; however, severe marine warning in effect for the next 24 to 48 hrs.

Thank you, Governor Martyn Roper, for your support throughout the process.

Now that tropical storm warning for #HurricaneDelta has lifted, there are a few post-storm mosquito prevention methods you can carry out to help keep them away while MRCU spray operations resume. Draining containers holding rain water is a great way to avoid attracting mosquitos.

Please stay off the roads. For those seeking transport to shelters and for further shelter info, please contact the NEOC Call Centre at 949-6555.

A big "Thank You" to the Cayman Islands Fire Service for helping to keep us safe, especially during this extraordinarily challenging year of earthquakes, landfill fires, a global pandemic and tropical storms/hurricanes to name a few.

The Medical Officer of Health, Dr. Samuel Williams-Rodriguez, reports that 217 COVID-19 tests have been carried out since this was last reported on Tuesday, 24 November 2020. Three inbound travellers tested positive. All are currently in isolation.

I was happy to provide an update as to what the Cayman Islands is doing to help improve the prison system, and to discuss the effective COVID 19 response and mitigation strategy employed by HMCIPS at today's UK OT Family JMC meeting.

Happy to be a part of a Government that supports our elderly and persons needing extra assistance in order to enjoy our beautiful beaches and crystal clear waters. Mobi-Mats are being installed at the Seven Mile Beach and Governor's Beach today to increase accessibility for all.

Happy to have been there to inspect and congratulate our newest fire officers to the Cayman Islands Fire Service.

I am happy to have been the Minister of Cabinet to have succeeded in having CEDAW extended to the Cayman Islands in March 2016. This country is more accountable and committed to promote gender equality as a result. #ChooseToChallenge #InternationalWomensDay #GenerationEquality

Proud to be a member of the Government that has worked hard over two terms to see this critically important project come to fruition. Well done to everyone involved! The work continues...
