Sandals Barbados Resort and Spa has been delisted by that country's health ministry as a designated quarantine hotel, effective January 5, while three tourists have been held for questioning by police.
Chief Medical Officer Dr Kenneth George said in a statement on Tuesday that the action was taken after several verified complaints of breaches of the COVID-19 protocols at the resort in relation to visitors in quarantine.
He said the Ministry of Health & Wellness takes the issue of breaches of the COVID-19 protocols very seriously and will take similar action if other designated quarantine hotels and villas refuse to uphold the rules.
On Monday evening Minister of Health and Wellness Jeffrey Bostic had warned that the authorities would take firm action against any businesses or individual that breached the COVID-19protocols.
