A 28-year-old woman, who is accused of travelling to Cayman, despite having tested positive for COVID-19, is due to return to court on Monday 6 Dec.
On Tuesday 16 Nov., the woman, who is originally from Jamaica, made her second Summary Court appearance, however no pleas where entered, as there were still outstanding documents in relation to her charge.
She arrived in Cayman on 9 Sept., aboard Cayman Airways flight KX605 from the Norman Manley International Airport in Kingston, Jamaica.
At the time of her arrival, the then-COVID-19 suppression prevention and suppression regulations required a person to produce a negative PCR test at least 72 hours prior to arrival in Cayman. That rule remains in place for all passengers travelling to the jurisdiction.
Under that regulation, it is an offence to travel to Cayman if you have tested positive for COVID-19.
The woman has been charged with one count of failure to comply with Regulation 3(1)(b)(i) of the Control of COVID-19 (No.2) Regulations, 2021 (SL 39 of 2021).
She was released on bail.
