Good day members,

We hope you all had a chance to view today's press conference with Gov. Bryan as we will be rolling back to the "stay at home" phase and making changes to mitigate the spread of COVID-19 in the territory. We will send out the 13th Supplemental Executive Order and related press releases from the GVI as soon as we receive them, but please do take a moment to view the livestream video of today's press conference on Facebook at www.facebook.com/GovernmentHouseUSVI so you can begin preparations.

We'd also like to remind members who have not yet applied for a curfew pass with VITEMA to do that as soon as possible. Curfew passes will only be issued through the end of August. Click here to download the application.

Additionally, we have an exciting new opportunity for members to receive immediate updates from the USVI Hotel & Tourism Association via text alerts. All you have to do is text USVIHTA to 55678 to stay informed and receive information immediately. We do have a maximum number of texts we can send each month, so please be sure that those signing up to receive text alerts are members of your staff who can disseminate information to the rest of your team. Thank you to Save On Islands for assisting USVIHTA with this valuable new tool to immediately communicate important information with our members. If you’re interested in setting up this useful tool for your business, please visit mobilesolutions.saveonislandssavings.com for more information.
