Skylar Mack, 18, of Georgia, and Vanjae Ramgeet, 24, of the Cayman Islands, have been in prison since Tuesday, when the ruling was issued
They were sentenced to four months in prison after their original sentence was overturned
Jeanne Mack, Skylar Mack's grandmother, shared that the family was 'very disappointed' in the teen but felt that officials 'want to hang her for this'
Mack, who is enrolled as a pre-med student at Mercer University in Macon, Georgia, arrived in the Cayman Islands on November 27
She was supposed to undergo a two-week quarantine as mandated by the government, which electronically tracks anyone who arrives
The student broke quarantine on Nov. 29 when her boyfriend picked her up to attend a water sports event, Hughes said

Monday’s special session at the Oregon Capitol was slightly disrupted as protestors —who appeared to oppose policies closing certain businesses to slow the spread of the coronavirus — tried in vain to get into a largely-empty Capitol.
Throughout the day, organizers broke glass doors on the west side of the Capitol building, tore tarps from the marble reliefs on the front steps, and engaged in a brief standoff with Oregon State Police and Salem Police Department officers. More than 100 protesters joined in the efforts, including members of Patriot Prayer, a far-right, Washington-based group led by Joey Gibson.
State police arrested four organizers during the six-hour rally — and are looking for a man who tried to break in and attacked two reporters, officials said.
