On Tuesday August 4, 2020, Management in the Department of Road Safety received confirmation from the Ministry of Health that an employee of the Providenciales Office has tested positive for the COVID-19 virus. The employee is now under quarantine and the Ministry of Home Affairs, along with the department, are working with the Ministry of Health to ensure that all protocols are being followed as it relates to contact tracing in order to identify and contact individuals who may have had close contact with the confirmed case.
As an immediate response, the Department of Road Safety in Providenciales will be closed to the public on Wednesday August 5th for the purposes of deep cleaning and sanitization. This is in keeping with the established guidelines of the Civil Service for the minimization and prevention of the spread of the virus within our offices and among employees and customers.
We wish to assure the public that the Ministry of Home Affairs and the Department of Road Safety, have and continue to, follow all health protocols for the protection of our staff and our clients.
The public will be further updated on the resumption of services in Providenciales on the completion of inspection by the Environmental Health Department, and following the sanitization of our offices.
