Tourist Travel Information Hotline Established

July 16, 2020July 16, 2020 by John

We get a lot of questions here at News of St John about the right way to travel during these challenging times. Rightfully so, because the circumstances change often, which in turn means the rules change often.

We do our best to keep you informed by covering the Governor’s press conferences and other newsworthy information. He will be having one at 1pm today and will report soon thereafter.

We try our best, but unfortunately we can’t answer every single question in a timely manner. So if you have specific questions, please consider calling the Covid-19 Travel Information Hotline that was setup by the USVI Department of Health the USVI Department of Tourism. You can reach them at 1-800-372-8784.

Please also keep in mind that the new travel regulations are now in effect, as of yesterday July 15th. These rules currently apply to Alabama, Arizona, Florida, Georgia, Idaho, Kansas, Mississippi, Nevada, Puerto Rico, South Carolina, and Texas.

Please read the Virus Updates section for previous COVID St John travel information.

Dear St John Lover –

If you have visited St. John, you have likely referred to News of St. John and Jenn Manes to stay informed and revisit the island you love from afar. Jenn has diligently reported the happenings on St. John, in good times and bad, hurricanes and calm seas, economic boom and recession, and yes, even during the COVID-19 crisis. While many people have been stuck at home, she has been working hard to bring the island sights and information of St. John to you. We want to extend our gratitude to her for all of her hard work and dedication…and for her love of St. John!

As we have transitioned, Jenn has worked alongside our team to ensure that we continue in the tradition of bringing you, our readership, up-to-date news, real estate reports, happenings and vacation guidance to maximize your St. John experience.

We made the decision to purchase News of St John to ensure that it continues to be a resource to everyone who loves our island and appreciates the amazing things it has to offer. As well as to share the amazing natural beauty, personality, and culture that makes living here so amazing.

One of the things we like best about what Jenn has done is her charitable work. It is truly amazing how much money she has been able to raise for charities that are important to her, and the island. Since 2014, she has raised over $500,000 for 12 different charities. And we intend to continue in this tradition.
