#TurksandCaicos, February 2, 2021 – This time it is not the crime rate or limited medical services which has been flagged by the Department of State of the US, it is our Level 4 Alert with the CDC which has pushed Turks and Caicos to a Level 4 Travel Advisory.
The message to Americans:
Do not Travel.
“Travelers to the Turks and Caicos may experience border
closures, airport closures, travel prohibitions, stay at home orders, business
closures and other emergency conditions within the Turks and Caicos Islands due
to Covid-19.”
The alerts are often ‘boo-hooed’ by resorts who remind that
vacations to the Turks and Caicos Islands are more akin to what celebrities
like the Kardashian’s, Jennifer Lopez, Christy Brinkley, Brad Pitt and the X
Factor’s Nicole Scherzinger have shown off to their legions of followers on
their social media in recent weeks; relaxing vistas, impeccable beaches, luxury
amenities and alluring back drops for sexy selfies, gorgeous family photos and leisure travel sublime.
Still there is a crime warning; one which has been repeated
since 2018.
“The vast majority of crime occurs in Providenciales. Local medical care and criminal investigative
capabilities are limited.”
The alert was updated on Monday February 1, 2021.
