VI down to 16 active COVID-19 cases; 4 recover
The Virgin Islands is down to 16 active positive COVID-19 cases, as 4 persons have recovered since the last update given on April 8, 2021.
This was revealed by Premier and Minister of Finance, Hon Andrew A. Fahie (R1) while a guest on the Morning Braff Show on Tola Radio VI with host Floyd Burnett aka ‘Heritage’.
“Right now, today when I got my numbers, we are, thank God have moved down to 16 active positive cases. We were at 20 but 4 have recovered. Thank God for that,” Premier Fahie said.
Nearly 9000 vaccinated
Honourable Fahie also said almost 9000 persons have now been vaccinated.
The Premier was at the time responding to a question of the possibility of day trips to St Thomas, US Virgin Islands once the seaports reopen to international operations on April 15, 2021.
He said while it may be possible to return the same day from St Thomas, persons would still have to observe a 4-day quarantine once they return to the VI.
He suggested the quarantine could be removed; however, once the majority of the territory is vaccinated.

Wasn’t this always the case minus the asthmatic cases ?
We will all recover peacefully at our homes won’t we ?

They’re not messing with AstraZeneca so they won’t speak on that though UK has paused it as well and hope to get alternatives.
Copenhagen — Denmark announced Tuesday that it would stop using the Oxford University-AstraZeneca COVID-19 vaccine altogether, becoming the first European country to do so over suspected rare but serious side effects. Despite recommendations from the World Health Organization and European medicines watchdog to continue using the inoculation, "Denmark's vaccination campaign will go ahead without the AstraZeneca vaccine," Health Authority director Soren Brostrom said at a news conference.
Denmark was the first country in Europe to suspend the use of the AstraZeneca jab in its vaccination rollout after reports of rare but serious cases of blood clots among those who had received the vaccine.
More than a dozen countries followed suit, but all but a few have since resumed use of the vaccine after the European Medicines Agency (EMA) emphasized the benefits of the vaccine and deemed it "safe and effective."
U.S. recommends "pause" for Johnson & Johnson vaccine
Denmark had however continued to hold off using the vaccine as it conducted investigations of its own. In Denmark, two cases of thrombosis, one of which was fatal, were linked to vaccinations after more than 140,000 people received the jab produced by the Anglo-Swedish pharmaceutical company.
In the country of 5.8 million inhabitants, 8% have been fully vaccinated against COVID-19, and 17% have received a first dose.
Since suspending use of the AstraZeneca jab in March, Denmark has continued with the Pfizer/BioNTech and Moderna shots.
The AstraZeneca suspension delays the country's ambitious vaccine rollout plans, but the health authority said in a statement that the availability of other vaccines combined with the pandemic being under control at the moment meant the inoculation campaign could continue without it.
France: AstraZeneca for over-55s
France's government reaffirmed its confidence on Wednesday in the AstraZeneca vaccine as an "essential tool" in the fight against COVID-19, hours after Denmark said it was stopping its use.

French government spokesman Gabriel Attal also said the country would stick by its plan to give over-55s the Johnson & Johnson vaccine, which was suspended in the U.S. and South Africa this week over the same kind of rare blood clots seen with the AstraZeneca drug.
France has already been using the AstraZeneca shot on over-55s and had been planning to boost its campaign with the Johnson & Johnson vaccine, which is similar to the AstraZeneca shot.
That plan appeared to be in jeopardy after Johnson & Johnson said Tuesday that it would delay rollout of the vaccine in Europe after it was suspended in the U.S. But Attal said the government had received a first delivery of 200,000 doses, which "arrived on our territory at the start of the week and are being delivered to GPs (doctors) and pharmacies."
His remarks came as EU chief Ursula von der Leyen warned the bloc was turning more heavily to BioNTech/Pfizer to make up for suspended Johnson & Johnson vaccine doses and for the longer term.
