Ministry reports third COVID-related death in a week
(CNS): A patient with severe comorbidities who was positive for COVID-19 died on Sunday, the Ministry of Health and Wellness has confirmed. The individual, who had received two doses of the vaccine, was the third person in less than a week to die after being infected with the virus after several months with no fatalities related to the virus. This is now the 32nd person to die after testing positive for COVID-19 in Cayman.
The authorities have reduced public reporting in relation to the spread of the virus to hospitalisations and deaths as part of a weekly review of public health issues. While the virus is circulating in the community, people are not coming forward for official testing, so the number of positive tests no longer reflects the reality of infection levels. Therefore, officials are now using different methods to survey the impact of the virus.
Interim Chief Medical Officer Dr Autilia Newton urged the public to get vaccinated or boosted, especially those who are vulnerable and immunocompromised. “The COVID-19 booster improves protection against severe infection for all age groups, and research has shown it helps keep people out of the hospital,” she said.
The Ministry of Health and Wellness extended condolences to the family of the latest victim of the coronavirus.

Nothing to see here, just another useless humanbeing being buried.
This is what the moneygrabbing #%@% say. Ooh look unvaccinated so who cares.
Numbnuts. In 3 to 6 months we all TECHNICALLY unvaccinated. Hope you think the same thing when your life or that of someone you love is hanging in the balance.
WE F’D UP. PACT failed at their jobs and now they hide the info from us. How you may ask? Happy you asked.
Less demands for test even limiting test to open only.
What this does is brutally simple. Less test = less positives.
Then when that does not work well enough lets stop reporting numbers altogether.
Let me be the first to say this and I will be clear.
There is more covid infections in the community now than at any point before.
Why do I say this? Many more people losing immunity. Covid becoming smarter and finally every venue is a petriedish like all supermarkets, events. Name it. So we are having mass spreader evens almost daily.
So 1 person catches it its 50 by next week.
But surely we have immunity right? Wrong. Vaccines have a 6 month shelf life in our bodies. Next there are variants. You can get infected by multiple variants so while you might be immune to say Omicron main you might not be immune to say BA.4 or BA.5.
We are literally swimming in a cesspool of Covid everytime we go into Fosters, Hurleys or Kirks. Any indoor building.
Plus there were so many bad info out there like the 6ft and 15 min rule where it was said you had to be within 6ft of someone for 15 mins to be at risk of catching it. This was proven in countless test to be damn rubbish. A well placed sneeze or cough can transmit the virus from one person to the other in under 10 seconds. Virus droplets, able to carry enough viral loads to infect humans can stay in the air in an enclosed environment for up to 3hrs.
People are dying again and it will continue and get worse as more an more people lose immunity and start catching and bringing it home to immuno compromised family members.
Now thumbs down me all you want but watch my words.
There are more deaths coming and the USA and Canada going into Flu season and we going into tourist season. Whatever could go wrong?
Remember Covid doesn’t give two !#%#%s who you are. It has one desire.
My condolences to all the people that die from all other diseases/viruses that get overlooked and forgotten
An inconvenient truth.
Still with omicron running at a base R number of 6 or so, what are we meant to do other than accept people will get it and some will die? It is never going away..
Yeah, the hell with these dead people who arent my family. lets move on.
End of Covid-19 pandemic ‘in sight’, says World Health Organisation

The end of the Covid-19 pandemic is “in sight”, the World Health Organisation has said.
The WHO said weekly deaths from the virus around the world are at the lowest level since March 2020 – the month the UK first went into lockdown.
The director general of the international health body, Dr Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, told a press conference: “Last week, the number of weekly reported deaths from Covid-19 was the lowest since March 2020.
We can see the finish line, we’re in a winning position. But now is the worst time to stop running
Dr Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus
“We have never been in a better position to end the pandemic – we are not there yet, but the end is in sight.
“A marathon runner does not stop when the finish line comes into view, she runs harder, with all the energy she has left. So must we.
“We can see the finish line, we’re in a winning position. But now is the worst time to stop running.
“Now is the time to run harder and make sure we cross the line and reap the rewards of all our hard work.
“If we don’t take this opportunity now, we run the risk of more variants, more deaths, more disruption and more uncertainty. So let’s seize this opportunity.
The level of COVID denialism seen in these comments is frightening, but not surprising, given the relative density of the population at hand.
Missing chromosomes combined with cognitive dissonance, confirmation bias, greed and a lack of critical thinking skills is everywhere.
Common sense too. Falling for the lie.
I am immunocompromised with, so far, asymptomatic CLL, vaccinated 2x, boosted 2x and a traveler came out of quarantine and gave me covid in July. I am so grateful to medical science because I was able to roll with a high fever for a <24 hours and recovered quickly which probably would not have happened without the boosters.
Sure you did.
Sad. Condolences to those families.
Deaths with covid are not the same as deaths from covid.
Same tired, empty stupidity. Let’s keep pretending that COVID isn’t causing deaths, it’s just a minor contributing factor.
You have ascended beyond being a clown, you’ve evolved into being the entire circus.
What difference does it make? Those people who died of/with covid who had comorbidities would ALL be successfully managing their comorbidities, had they not contracted Covid-19.
Never have been, but not counted separately mostly. Thus can’t trust the #s reported, here or anywhere.
They are deaths after getting Covid, you narrow-minded fool.
You do understand they are basically the same right.
There is no organ called Covid that fails its another organ.
What Covid does is find a weak organ and exploits it.
So from with whatever the flip you want to call it its all the same crap. I think you all are stupid mindless drones saying pure vanila #$#$ so you can sleep better at nights.
People die from having Covid in their bodies.
People back to going to work and going out in public while sick, so I suspect we’ll see more of this. Just stay home if you are sick people!
Unless you work for minimum wage and losing a day of work cuts your ability to eat or pay rent
My condolences to the families of all the individuals that have passed away, because of this horrible illness.
*with
FFS you do realize that perhaps they might NOT have died if they didn’t have Covid right? It’s a contributing factor.
#might
I hope when your ticket is punched, you are met with the same level of compassion as you show here.
