Cayman Brac’s COVID-19 cases still rising

| 14/03/2022 | 16 Comments

(CNS): The number of cases of COVID-19 across the three Cayman Islands is falling overall but still rising on Cayman Brac. Sixteen of the 41 new cases reported to Public Health over the weekend were on the Brac, which has a population of just over 2,000. To date, there have been 631 COVID cases in total on the Sister Islands, almost all of them on the Brac.

But the number of cases on Grand Cayman and Little Cayman are continuing to decline, and the rolling average as of 14 March is down to just 27. Active cases across Cayman have now fallen to an estimated 458. Five patients are currently hospitalised for COVID-related causes, four of whom are unvaccinated.

Since the pandemic arrived here more than two years ago, Cayman has recorded around 20,250 cases in total among a population of around 70,000.

    Cases are rising in European and Asian countries again as western countries controlled by the business world abandon proven safety measures. Another wave soon come.

    Q. Does any CIG agency intend to update the COVID status and data source communication links to the international sites tracking this pandemic and advising governments in our core tourism markets?

    If there are people in the Tourism business here, please sort this out.

      what about the petri dish planes every day?

      • Mumbichi says:

        Petri dish planes have compliance oversight by CBC and other Cayman Islands entities; petri dish ships have compliance oversight administered by onboard entities.

        Still think they are equal?

    The covid patients in the hospital were admitted to the hospital because of covid or were found to have covid on admission because of another related health matter?

    But only the vaccinated have been allowed to visit there?????

    • And says:

      And? The vaccine reduces the virulence of the disease not its infectivity. Only ignorant Fox News watching Boomers make comments like 12:33.
