FREDERIKSTED, St Croix, USVI — The latest coronavirus case in the US Virgin Islands (USVI) was confirmed on St Croix on Saturday, May 30, 2020, according to an infographic released by the [US] Virgin Islands Department of Health.

The new case represents the first after a long stretch of negative results, and as the Albert A. Bryan administration implements its "Open Doors" policy, which makes way for leisure travelers to visit the US Virgin Islands, and allows restaurants and bars to accept up to 50 customers who are not required to wear masks while at the establishments.

So far 1,814 people have been tested, with 1,728 tests returning negative, 70 positive and 16 pending as of Saturday.

There have been 6 deaths in the USVI and one individual is currently on a ventilator at the Schneider Regional Medical Center, according to the Department of Health.

    Lies St. Thomas dont have that amount of active cases. Also, this is discremination with the world opening back up , it matter which country they are coming from once they are quarantining. just deal with it and get prepared. Simple.

      Quite right @ nonsense. Check US VI dept of health web site. No cases in St. Thomas since April 26. No new cases in St. John’s since late March. Recent case in St. Croix came in from overseas. Last case in St. Thomas was sailor off container ship. US VI dept of health has done an exemplary job of testing, isolating, tracking and tracing. BVI counterpart doesn’t even come close. Visitor risk depends on where they are coming from.

    The 70th positive COVID-19 case in the USVI was announced several weeks, this is not headline news. What is worth reporting is that the USVI only has 2 active COVID-19 cases. Stop the scaremongering!
