People in gov’t quarantine must pay EC$100 a day
By Orville Williams
Persons arriving into Antigua, or who are already in the country and must be quarantined in a government facility, will now be expected to cover the cost of their meals for the duration of their stay.
This is one of two policy changes the government has made in light of the current circumstances, with the other being a return to the centralisation of quarantined individuals, through placement in public quarantine facilities.
Earlier this year, when the quarantine policy was developed, the government had outlined certain elements – including the cost of meals – that would be covered by the quarantined individuals. This was met with public outcry, to which the government responded by agreeing to cover the costs.
