Restrictions Eased for Travelers into the Territory

Though the passing this week of the 100-person mark for COVID-19 related deaths is a "sobering reminder of the threat" the virus poses to the community, the decrease in the number of active cases after the recent variant surge has enabled an easing of restrictions for travel into the territory, according to Lieutenant Gov. Tregenza Roach.
