Now that the mandatory quarantine period is over for the 35 Trinidad and Tobago Nationals stranded in Barbados, a diplomatic note will be sent to the government of Barbados, requesting that they are all tested for the Coronavirus. Trinidad and Tobago will provide the test kits, according to National Security Minister Stuart Young who said that he is “hoping they all test negative.”  But he did not clarify what would be the next step granted the borders of both islands are closed. Yet, he expressed concern that the the group of mostly elderly people would “reengage with persons who had the virus,” which was the only possible hint that they may be brought home.  Prime Minister Dr Keith Rowley had announced they would return after quarantine after lobbying from, a spokesman for the group Phillip Ramdial who is seen in the  photo above, with his wife Ann. The 35 nationals  arrived in Barbados less than 24 hours after T&T had locked down its borders. They were on a vacation in South Africa and started the return journey home, via Oman and London, when they got word of the impending closure of the borders. Barbados is  currently under  a 24 hour curfew.The government has announced that with effect from  Wednesday, Barbadians in urgent need will be able to order and collect groceries – but not shop – at supermarkets during the 24-hour curfew. They had been under mandatory quarantine at Sugar Cane Club, St Peter (see Photo). As for 33 Trinidadians stuck in Suriname, some of whom worked in the gold mines, and wanting to make their way home, Mr. Young said he is in touch with their lawyers and is “making arrangements to have them examined.” The T&T nationals who are stuck in Margarita Island have been told to “contact the T&T Embassy in Caracas and let them know you are safe.” All borders are shut they are not allowing flights, Young said while referring to Jamaica which has told its nationals to remain where they are.
