  1. e) the Cabinet, upon the urging of the CMO, who is also the Chief Quarantine Officer, called upon the APUA to provide better connectivity from the Government’s Quarantine Facilities so that students and others detained may continue to communicate with their schools, businesses and homes.

  2. Howabout full speed fiber optic for all schools? Teachers are being greatly challenged at home AND on campus by patchy connectivity.

    Antigua has a long way to go to achieve solid, fast, RELIABLE, affordable internet service.
    I wonder how the Digital Nomads are making out?
