St. Vincent Prime Minister Ralph Gonsalves declared that only vaccinated people can be evacuated from the Caribbean island following the eruption of a nearby volcano.
Gonsalves said in a press conference Saturday that only vaccinated people are eligible to board cruise ships volunteering to transport people to nearby islands for refuge.
INSANE: “Cruise ships are evacuating people from the island, but only those vaccinated against covid.”
“The chief medical officer would be identifying the persons already vaccinated so that we can get them on the ship,” Gonsalves said, reiterating that “those that are vaccinated, she can get them going on the vessel.”
