HAMILTON, Bermuda – President of the Bermuda National Athletics Association (BNAA) Donna Raynor says next month’s Carifta Games, set to attract more than 600 athletes from 27 Caribbean countries, should not be affected by the coronavirus (COVID-19) that is spreading across the globe.
The virus has reached Caribbean countries, with a few cases in the Dominican Republic, Jamaica, St Vincent and the Grenadines, Martinique, Saint Martin and Saint Barthélemy.
But as Bermuda prepares to host the 49th Carifta Games – the fifth time the island will be the location for the event – Raynor said she did not expect that the COVID-19 situation would disrupt the staging.
“As of now, all systems go for Carifta,” she said.
Countries are having their final trials…and we’re all moving ahead as if it is going to take place,” she told the Royal Gazette newspaper.

Bermuda business that
Lets flow with the time
If Jamaica not there it boring
It’s no Corona virus here
No. Lives worth more than Trophies
They’d need to quarantine the athletes 1st then get on with the games without spectators.
So Bermuda is willing to take the chance to have all these visitors for the games. Lord help them.
Its no corona there has yet..well Bermuda must be doing something so Spacial that no other country is not doing…wow…
Well, this edition will give another territory a chance to top the medal table…..because Jamaica will not be there!
If that is what the organizers decide and the other participating countries are willing. Jamaica should stay away…?
Yes Jamaica is not Carifta and there is no Corona in Bermuda. I think putting the team in a 21 day Quarantine and a chartered flight Jamaica could participate
