Covid Hampers St. Vincent Evacuation Amid Volcanic Eruption Bloomberg 1 day ago © Photographer: DOMINIQUE CHOMEREAU-LAMOTTE/AFP Lava flow after a blast from the Soufriere volcano. (Bloomberg) Covid-19 is hampering efforts to evacuate people from the eastern Caribbean island of St. Vincent, where the La Soufriere volcano began erupting Friday morning. In a news conference, St. Vincent and the Grenadines Prime Minister Ralph Gonsalves said efforts to move an estimated 20,000 residents who live near the volcano were underway. Buses were transporting some people to safety, while cruise ships were prepared to pick up others along the northern coast. But the pandemic is causing delays. Hotels that are being turned into refugee centers are asking that people be vaccinated, a request that Gonsalves said was “not unreasonable.”
