Armie Hammer’s wife Elizabeth reveals they’ve been quarantined in Cayman Islands with their two kids for nearly a month and claims, ‘It wasn’t planned’
Armie Hammer and his wife Elizabeth Chambers Hammer have been riding out the coronavirus quarantine with their two young kids in the Cayman Islands.
Elizabeth, 37, made the announcement in an Instagram post on Thursday where she talked about how the family’s fairing during her their sequester in the tropical paradise.
‘Left home yesterday for the first time in almost a month for our second grocery run and the experience was drastically different than before,’ she wrote in the caption of a picture showing her in the store with a protective mask and gloves on.

The former model, 37, and the Call Me By Your Name star, 33, left their home in Los Angeles about five weeks ago for New York and then went on to the Cayman Islands about week later.
She said ‘it wasn’t planned’ but they decided to hunker down there when the coronavirus outbreak reached a fever pitch.
‘Due to travel restrictions, school closures and the fact that we were planning to be here with our extended family two weeks later for spring break, we made this decision for the health and safety of our family. But none of that is the point…I just know this is a very sensitive time and emotions are heightened, so felt the need to explain,’ Elizabeth wrote.

She went on to praise how well the government in the British Overseas Territory in the Western Caribbean Sea seems to be handling the COVID-19 crisis.
‘There are strict curfews, lockdowns and visitation to essential businesses are only allowed on certain days based on the first letter of your last name. And it seems to be working.’
She added, ‘There are no lines or crowding and when I asked the cashier if they have been busy/overwhelmed on the weekends, she said that it’s never very busy and no lines because of the mandates. I’ve received messages from a few people saying that local grocery stores on the east coast have implemented one-way aisles and @birdbakery we’re using tape on the floor as a guideline for social distancing if guests must enter.’

‘Please share and stay safe (and home when possible),’ she concluded.
