Premier Wayne Panton has described the UK’s decision to keep the Cayman Islands on its amber travel list as ‘unfair’.
In a statement, Panton said when Cayman was first placed on the amber list last month, he wrote to UK Secretary of State for Transport Grant Shapps, outlining “Cayman’s amazing record of remaining free of COVID for 327 days and the fact that we now have the ability to do genome sequencing to identify variants in positive COVID results”.
Panton said the government would continue its push to get Cayman on the green list when it is reviewed again in three weeks.
