Repatriation delay request to June 15, 2022 submitted, 71 passengers arrive on June 11, 2022

Peilapalap, Kolonia, June 12, 2022 – After an official request to the FSM National Government by Acting Governor, Hon. Christina Elnei, to delay repatriation to June 15, 2022 due to insufficient time to properly prepare quarantine facilities, 71 passengers arrived on June 11, 2022. The Acting Governor’s request to delay repatriation was based on the fact that the Medical Monitoring Area (MMA) quarantine facility housed two positive cases up until June 11, 2022. This prevented health personnel from entering MMA to properly disinfect the facility and prepare for the next group of repatriates. The quarantine facility at EMU or the former China Star does not have enough rooms to properly accommodate all the repatriates. As a result, many of the passengers who arrived on June 11, 2022, have to wait in the lobby of the former China Star until their accommodations are ready. We apologize to the repatriates and their families for this inconvenience. Their safety, the safety of our health and security staff, and the safety of our people are paramount. This was the reason for the official request to the FSM National government to delay or postpone the repatriation from June 11, 2022, to June 15, 2022, after receiving the expert advice and recommendations of the Medical Advisory Committee (MAC) of the Pandemic Readiness Response Commission (PRRC) and the Quarantine facility manager, Mrs. Marcy Lorrin. We are working hard to safely provide accommodations to all passengers as soon as possible. —————————————————————————————————————————————– ROHNG SANG POHNPEI PANDEMIC READINESS AND RESPONSE COMMISSION (PRRC) DE POHNPEI COVID-19 EMERGENCY TASK FORCE.

Yosiwo George, and the FSM Attorney General, Hon. Joses Gallen, who has also been designated to be in charge of routine and administrative matters of the Executive branch in the absence of President Panuelo, Acting Governor, Hon. Christina Elnei requested to delay or postpone the June 11, 2022 repatriation to June 15, 2022. Acting Governor Elnei cited two reports from the Pohnpei Pandemic Readiness and Response Commission’s (PRRC) /Pohnpei COVID-19 Emergency Task Force Medical Advisory Committee (MAC) and Quarantine Manager, Mrs. Marcy Lorrin in her official request. In the MAC report, the recommendation for the delay was to give the quarantine staff ample time to prepare facilities given the two (2) active cases still in the Medical Monitoring Area (MMA) as of June 11, 2022, and allow the proper process of disinfection (infection, prevention, and control measures). The report from Mrs. Lorrin also echoed the MAC report’s recommendation to allow enough time to properly disinfect the quarantine units. The PRRC /Task Force continues to rely on the expert advice of the Medical Advisory Committee and the well-grounded guidance of the frontline workers to ensure Pohnpei is kept safe and protected from the COVID-19 virus Acting Governor Elnei request to delay repatriation
