All measures will be taken to arrest COVID-19 upsurge– Hon Malone
Hon Malone’s commitment came in a public address last night, July 5, 2021, when he announced that the COVID-19 cases as of yesterday were 480 from just 273 active confirmed cases in the previous update on July 4, 2021.
While the data shows a staggering number of infections in a short period of time, the Minister reminded that the territory is well prepared to handle the upsurge.
“Your government has constructed physical facilities, purchased ventilators, purchased lab equipment, trained medical staff, recruited specialists from Cuba, upgraded our laws, established safety protocols, engaged social distancing personal and provided free vaccines compliments of the United Kingdom government,” he said.
VI's investments will be put to use - Hon Malone
The investments, according to Hon Malone, was made for a time such as now. The minister also announced that sometime during today, July 6, 2021, the acting Chief Medical Officer, Dr Ronald E. Georges will issue a community testing schedule for screenings to be conducted on Tortola, Virgin Gorda, and Jost van Dyke.
“This schedule is comprehensive and will include exposure locations, testing dates, testing sites, and testing times. Persons of interest would be ably advised of exposure locations, the testing dates, the testing sites, and testing times,” he said.
“The forest has thickened,” Hon Malone further noted as he painted a picture of assurance that the VI can handle the new challenge.
He; however, reminded that to successfully take on the virus upsurge, everyone in the territory must do their part to follow the COVID-19 guidelines.

The government needs to publish the vaccination status of the hospitalized and dead until people realize that vaccination prevents this disease.
You had better stay home till this passes and get vaccinated as soon as you can.
To late now
11.00 pm curfew start is rediculos bars still going to be opening.
All the anti vaccers crying now.
Anyway, it's just a flue. The new variants are more contagious but less deadly than the ones that circulated last year. These are facts.
Shutting down businesses and lockdown is just kicking the can down the road.
Flu symptoms only last a day.
Covid-19 symptoms lasted 3weeks, day 1-3 felt like I was coming down with something. Day 4 got tested, a nasal swab which is a little uncomfortable, day 4-5 my first signs that this would be different (body aches norm and fatigue not my norm..., took precaution and got some over the counter meds, vitamins, sun and home made mix. Day 6 felt better and thought my sickness would be short like usual. Day day 7 back to feeling sick..day7-19 I had fatigue not normal.. would wake in the morning felt fine but by mid day I had no energy NONE could hardly walk. Day 20/21 started to feel better fatigue isn't lasting as long and isn't starting the usually mid day.
But here the B.V.I ignorance, Lack of medical knowledge? Suppossttion, negative mindset, media bliss, etc. have blinded the minds of many people thst don't seem to understand that pasivity is equal to stupidity, that lead to severe sickness and death.
If 100 person take covid-19 vaccines jabs, and 2 died, that will mean 98 did not. But if a 100 persons refuse to take the jabs, a far greater number than 2 of a 100 will die, amd contamidated others before thy die.
What it seems to me and to others that see things similar as I do, wonder at times, why do so many people in the BV.I, black ethnic people are so gullible to grab hold of negativity, and spread it like wild fire without proven evidence? The 480 persons, last recorded covid-19 count is a troubling number.
God gave water and foods ? But He neither dronk and eat for us. He gave knowlledge to make wise decisions. Let us act wisely, not ignorantly.
