Gov. Albert Bryan Jr. announced on April 25, 2019, that non-essential government employees in the St. Thomas-St. John District would receive administrative leave for two St. Thomas Carnival events, and that non-essential employees territorywide would receive one additional administrative day.

Under the announcement, non-essential employees residing in the St. Thomas-St. John District were granted leave from noon to 5 p.m. on Wednesday, May 1, 2019, for Food, Arts and Crafts Fair Day, and from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Thursday, May 2, 2019, for J'ouvert.

Bryan also granted administrative leave from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Friday, May 3, 2019, for Children's Parade Day for non-essential government employees across the territory.

The leave did not apply to essential employees or employees on a regular or rotating shift. Employees on annual or sick leave immediately before or after the administrative leave period were not eligible for the leave, and future leave would not be substituted for employees deemed essential or whose shifts fell on those days.
