Please see belowa letter sent today to Barbados Prime Minister Mia Mottley from Antigua and Barbuda Prime Minister Gaston Browne, drawing to her attention the wrongful classification of Antigua and Barbuda by Barbados as a ‘medium risk’ jurisdiction for COVID-19.\u00a0 \u00a0Prime Minister Browne recalls the CARPHA standard to which all CARICOM Heads of Government agreed of 20 active cases per population of 100,000 as presenting a high risk.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

In Antigua and Barbuda’s case, it has only 4 active cases, meriting a classification no higher than “low risk”.\u00a0 \u00a0 Prime Minister Browne reminds that Barbados has recently been classified by the European Union as a ‘high risk” jurisdiction for money laundering to which Barbados protested.\u00a0 Antigua and Barbuda had supported Barbados against the EU arbitrary classification of Barbados.\u00a0 \u00a0He calls on Prime Minister Mottley in the interest of fairness right and the facts, to intervene so that the correct classification of Antigua and Barbuda as ‘low risk’ is implemented by the Barbados authorities.<\/p>\n

Honourable Mia Mottley M.P.<\/p>\n

Prime Minister<\/p>\n

Office of the Prime Minister<\/p>\n

Bridgetown<\/p>\n

BARBADOS<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Dear Prime Minister<\/p>\n

I present my compliments and bring to your attention a matter which may have escaped your personal awareness amid the heavy and pressing work schedule that, as a fellow Head of Government, I fully appreciate you face.<\/p>\n

The matter concerns the current unwarranted classification of Antigua and Barbuda as a \u2018medium risk\u2019 jurisdiction for COVID-19 by the authorities in Barbados.\u00a0\u00a0This current classification is an amendment from a previous even more underserved designation of \u2018high risk\u2019.\u00a0\u00a0The amendment took place after alarm was raised by Antigua and Barbuda\u2019s Foreign Minister.<\/p>\n

Our two countries have suffered when other countries and regions have unilaterally applied classifications to them.\u00a0\u00a0Most recently, the arbitrary classification of Barbados by the European Union as a \u201chigh-risk\u201d country regarding anti-money laundering and countering terrorist financing, was rightly protested by you and your government.\u00a0\u00a0My government and I, personally, raised our voices in support of Barbados to decry this arbitrary action.<\/p>\n

You will understand, therefore, my Government\u2019s deep concern about Barbados\u2019 classification of Antigua and Barbuda as \u2018high risk\u2019 or \u2018medium risk\u2019, when the facts tell a quite different story.\u00a0\u00a0You will further appreciate our disquiet when Barbados departs from the position taken by CARICOM Heads of Government to apply the CARPHA standard of 20 active cases for a population of 100,000.\u00a0\u00a0In Antigua and Barbuda\u2019s case, we have only 4 infected persons, well below the threshold set by CARPHA.<\/p>\n

In today\u2019s interconnected world, this unilateral classification of Antigua and Barbuda by Barbados receives international attention.\u00a0\u00a0It has led to anxiety in our struggling tourism industry and has adversely affected the employment and wellbeing of our people.<\/p>\n

In the circumstances, I am confident that, based on your commitment to fairness and right, and to the facts, you will intervene personally to ensure that the regional standard, established by CARPHA, and agreed by Heads of Government, is applied by\u00a0the Barbados authorities to Antigua and Barbuda, placing the country in the \u2018low risk\u2019 category it merits.<\/p>\n

I look forward to an early and favourable response from you.<\/p>\n

Kind regards<\/p>\n

Gaston Browne M.P.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Prime Minister<\/p>\n
