COVID surge: Active cases in VI now @ 256
Acting Chief Medical Officer Ronald E. Georges said the outbreak was due to the Delta variant and that 218 of the positive cases are on Tortola.
‘Intentionally take necessary precautions’- Dr Georges
“As previously mentioned all samples previously sent to CARPHA for typing were positive for the Delta variant and samples continue to be sent for typing on a regular basis,” Dr Georges said in a statement today, December 28, 2021.
The Acting CMO said, in the Virgin Islands, clusters of cases have been identified among businesses, related to social gatherings, events, nightspots and other areas where persons congregate.
“In this holiday season and during this period of increased transmission, as we prepare to engage in the many family and social gatherings and enjoy the holiday season with our friends and families, let us remember that COVID-19 is still present amongst us, and we are to intentionally take the necessary precautions for our health and safety.”
The Virgin Islands last experienced a major spike in COVID-19 cases in July 2021, when more than 1600 positive cases were detected and over 30 COVID-19 related deaths were recorded.
PCR testing
Meanwhile, persons can access PCR testing at the Dr D Orlando Smith Hospital Tent by registering at https://althea.bvi.care and by calling the Medical Hotline at 852-7650 if you have any symptoms of COVID-19.
Alternatively, private medical establishments also provide PCR testing, and rapid antigen type tests, and many persons have access to home self-test kits.
The public has also been reminded that PCR test remains the Gold Standard for diagnosis.

this is something to live with or do we go back into lockdown because after each lockdown you will be confronted with the same issues
Who’s in the hospital. People wake up the Premere is boostered and got Covid and so did many on his party a rolling bus. What exactly does the vaccines do for you. You’re still getting punished and losing pay at work. The CDC is so ashamed that they broke science to fool the masses. Wake up don’t take the vaccines they’re not working. The vaccines you took as a child was to protect you not to protect someone else. If they’re taking it to protect us then we don’t need to take it. Think about it
Father brother daughter daughter in law.
I dare anyone to come tell me that’s not true.
Death certificates
Died from ........ due to COVID
Btw down island not BVI.
I appreciate your testimony and happy to know that by the Grace of God you and your husband are both alive. There is always two sides to a story though. I know of a friend of mine who took the vaccine and had a severe adverse reaction which has left his lung damaged. Dr advised him against the second shot. He can no longer work or even walk long distances without gasping for breath. Why are these stories being muzzled? Ask yourself this. We have no data base system to record adverse events why?
I maintain that these vaccines are not for everyone and therefore it should be down to personal choice and people should not be mandated or bullied if believe that it is not best for them. You and all admitted you did not take it for a medical reason and that MUST be respected. I am not going to get into why you had a more adverse reaction to covid than your husband but could it be linked to your medical reason?

Funny how cases spite everytime they get a shipment of vaccines. No lie look back and u see each time a shipment of vaccine comes in the number start jumping out hats like magicial rabbits. If the global leaders care about the ppl they would work to put an end to this plague and not enhance the pockets of tge greedy and wicked ppl and evil sciencist . Wake up ppl yes nothing a small man can do but its that same statement why so many innocent ppl die from men driven dieases. Check the reality of the world we leave in its crazy. A group back by governments and court can cerate something that kills millions but you take it on yourself to do the same and your arrested and jailed. The world is a messy place
Your right to say what u think .
But it has the advantages of being fact. Think about it millions are spend to get the answers for the virus. Why you think thats so
Wake up
