Beginning tomorrow, Wednesday, 8th April and Thursday, 9th April, the Police will introduce and enforce a zoning plan for those shoppers who must leave their homes.
On Wednesday, during the hours of 7am to 3pm, the Partial Curfew will be lifted for those persons in Zone One to purchase essential goods at Supermarkets, pharmacies and food retail shops while exercising strict social distancing rules.
During Wednesday, there should be no movement to Basseterre by Zone Two, Zone Two will be allowed to travel to Basseterre on Thursday during the hours of 7am to 3pm while there will be a restriction of movement of Zone One.
Zone One, East Side, will comprise all those areas East of a line through the center of Fort Street, continuing North through Victoria Road and extending all the way to the Roundabout on the Ft Williams Highway at the RLB Intl Airport just west of Taylors Housing Development. Then East along the Ft Williams Highway to the Island Main Road and including all those areas traditionally known as the East Basseterre Constituency. Then continuing in a north-easterly direction along the island Main Road from Conaree and Needsmust and extending all the way to Saddlers and Lavington.
Zone Two, West Side, will comprise all other areas on the island of St. Kitts, from Parsons traveling via Sandy Point, to Basseterre and including all other areas in the Basseterre Valley such as St. Peters, Central and West Basseterre but excluding East Basseterre.
In Nevis, Zone Three will comprise the parishes of St. Pauls, St. Thomas and St. James. Persons in these parishes will be allowed to leave their residences on Wednesday 8th April between the hours of 7am to 3pm.
Zone Four comprises the parishes of St. John and St. George and persons there will be able to leave their residences on Thursday 9th April from 7am to 3pm.
On any day when one zone is active, the other will be locked down.
I urge all residents of villages and settlements in the rural areas, to utilize those establishments, those village shops in your area and so reduce the congestion in Basseterre and Charlestown.
Many of these village shops have the goods you need. This will allow you to avoid the restrictions that are being imposed at this time and protect you from the transmission of the virus in crowded spaces.
