Only countries in the region with zero cases thus far: Anguilla, BVI and St Kitts and Nevis

Vast majority in DR (392) followed by Guadeloupe, Martinique, T&T, Puerto Rico and Cuba.

Haiti still most impressive. Look at their population size versus number of cases

Isn't obvious why their cases are so low?

See if you can figure it out nah,Sudan etc too..

 
problemjay 2020-03-25 17:54:52 

In reply to bravos

No i want you to tell me. Any argument about they not having as much arrivals as other Caribbean countries is weak. Because they have managed to still get cases and also contained them thus far. So i want YOU to tell me. Dont run for help

Haiti has done a good job so far managing any spread of the few cases dem receive from foreign

If not enough then eventually we will get a sudden wave of alot of people showing symptoms who should have been tested. So time will tell

The technique to avoid having infections is keeping travelers out of countries in the Caribbean or any country that does not have the virus.

 
problemjay 2020-03-27 14:16:12 

In reply to Chrissy

Yes next two weeks going to be very critical. I expect a lot more cases in the Caribbean due to people just passing it on to co workers and family but hopefully we see no or very few deaths

Tryangle 2020-03-27 15:49:39 

In reply to Chrissy

Hard to keep track of each place but some places may be already enacting curfews. Will be interesting to see how each island deals with things.

Here we had rumours going around that grocery stores, pharmacies, etc would be shutting down as of this evening - the Premier went to social media to put that rumour to rest.

 
Tryangle 2020-03-27 16:55:03 

As of today we have 1196 total cases in the region, 140 new cases today, 31 total deaths and 12 new deaths (most in DR).

Of new cases, 93 in DR, 12 in PR, 13 in Cuba, 8 in Bermuda, 6 in Barbados, 4 in Montserrat, 1 in T&T.

Every country has at least one confirmed case.

Pretty slick map, wonder what engine's behind it. Weird that there's no PR (among others) reflection.
Looking up the creator, maybe just some data that needs to be thrown in. But still a very slick map there, props due.

On the creator's page, there's a retweet of an interesting site:

At least Jamaica and Barbados doing contact tracing.

That's not happening in the UK.

Once someone's diagnosed with coronavirus no attempt is made to find out who that person has been in contact with.

Two of my wife's work colleagues have been diagnosed with coronavirus and in each case the doctor told them to stay home and that was the end of the story. No contact tracing.

Jamaicans will be subjected to a seven-day, all-island curfew effective Wednesday, April 1 from 8 pm each evening until 6 am the following day in order to mitigate against the spread of the coronavirus, (COVID-19) on the island.

The curfew will end at 6 am on April 8
.

Grenada will have a 24 hour curfew for a week

 
Ayenmol 2020-03-31 01:07:41 

In reply to Chrissy

I don't get the overnight curfew....is it easier to stumble into the virus unaware at night?

 
Tryangle 2020-03-31 01:53:01 

In reply to Chrissy

Bermuda enacted a 8pm to 6am curfew, a couple people got arrested (I imagine they got stuck at their significant other's place and tried to beat the time), a couple idiots broke into a restaurant and swiped the liquor only to be caught in a public park in the early morning.

I think Cayman is also doing the curfew thing.

Barbados's curfew starts at 8pm but can't recall when it ends in the morning.

by end of this week we will realize that the Caribbean is overreacting a bit.

Social distancing, good hygiene...overall habit improvement is sufficient...and oh..stay way from the old people for a while..

 
Tryangle 2020-03-31 19:02:13 

In reply to DAVE400

Does the Caribbean etc, by default, have no choice but to overreact? We're collectively dependent on the outside for assistance when it comes to resources, testing kits, etc? We would be low on the totem pole when it comes to global relief, I'd imagine

problemjay 2020-03-31 19:41:06 

In some.of these islands they are starting to have recoveries. So maybe we could mention that stat as well. I believe in Cuba and Jamaica there have been recoveries and in Trinidad one confirmed case has recovered as well

 
DukeStreet 2020-03-31 19:55:20 

In reply to problemjay

Yes, I agree with that. Also, track relapses and percentages. A certain percentage of the recovered end up back in the ICU or dead. It's all relative but still good to know.

I think ultimately, for me, I would like to know when the US government will lift restrictions and start opening businesses back up. What particular set of indicators will trigger this and what percentages are they looking at?

Caribbean as a whole despite smaller population is still doing a lot better than America and Europe in managing the spread of the virus. Also more islands are having recovered cases which is good and re-emphasise the fact that having the virus is not a death sentence

would really be useful to see how man death are a direct result of community spread and not travel related...but that would be a fairly difficult undertaking...I suspect that the deaths related to community spread is low but I have no proof at this time..

69 cases in st martin with 8 deaths is alarming indeed. This is a very tiny island in the Leeward Is. I am surprised that we havent been hearing more about this.

St martin/St maarten is 87 sq miles with a population of 80 000.
Its astonishing that it has recorded more cases and deaths than Jamaica - pop 2.5 million

In the case of st Maarten, 105 persons were tested up to April 5th and there
were 37 positives and 6 deaths.

For those who are not aware, st Martin and st Maarten are two micro states that are adjacent to each other in a tiny 87 sq mile island.

Haiti may have been spared because social unrest led to flight cancellations way earlier than most other places around these parts. Further the cruise ships weren't going there either for the same reason.

Yes, the fact that we're talking about cases in the English-speaking Caribbean, while in Europe the discussion is around death tolls, says it all. There's been an upsurge in British Jamaicans trying to secure Jamaican passports during the carnage in the UK. But the High Commission is closed, like so many services in England now during this lockdown.

Britain’s Real Coronavirus Death Toll Is Double the Official Number, Says Report

The novel coronavirus has likely caused as many as 41,000 deaths in Britain, more than double the official figure of 17,337, according to the Financial Times. The newspaper’s total is based on new data from the Office of National Statistics and, unlike the official figure, includes deaths that have taken place outside hospitals. The analysis shows a huge spike in deaths compared to previous years. For example, in the week ending April 10, there were 18,516 deaths registered compared with the most recent five-year average of 10,520 for the same week of the year. It’s believed that the excess is being caused by the coronavirus. Nick Stripe, head of life events at the Office for National Statistics, said the spike was “unprecedented,” especially as the weather had been good. The “all-cause excess mortality” figure is widely recognized as the best measure of the death toll linked to the pandemic. Using this calculation, a conservative estimate of U.K. excess deaths up to April 21 was 41,102.

Hi guys Im ok and well. All isolated and staying inside and whatnot. A woman from my old neighborhood, she was living in Panama and she passed away from Covid19 - a really nice lady. So it hits home, so to speak.

Bermuda shot right up in the chart as there was a number of cases at a rest home. My understanding is that Bermuda's conducted a relatively high number of tests compared to other island countries.

With regards to the UK, the stats they post are deaths in hospital only, so the number of deaths are vastly understated. Deaths in care homes and at home are not included in that figure, so the overall total of deaths could be much higher. The government statistical body just realised data for up to April 10, and that was an additional 1,000 deaths in care homes and another 500 deaths at home. When they finally get up to date, we may well see over 40k deaths.

So, the Caribbean picture is much better, in contrast...to date!

8 are local transmissions with no epidemiological link

108 are contacts of confirmed cases – of this amount of 108, 43 are contacts of Alorica employees. When this number of 43 is combined with the actual 202 employees of Alorica who have tested positive – the total is now 245 cases directly or indirectly linked to Alorica.

29 patients have recovered

Jamaica now has 469 confirmed cases of COVID-19. There were six new cases in the last 24 hours.

Sadly, another Jamaican, a 72-year-old male has died because of the virus. This brings the tally of deaths to nine.

Jamaica now has 35 imported cases; 161 are contacts of a confirmed case; nine are local transmission cases not epidemiologically-linked, and 264 are under investigation.

See it here, Trinidad and Tobago six phases Link Text


Phase 1: May 10 – May 23

From Monday, May 11, food establishments and restaurants would be allowed to open and provide food services across the country but no in-service dining will be allowed. Itinerant and non-itinerant services can allow curbside pick-up, drive-through and walk-in pick-up. It must end at 8 pm. All employees of food outlets can now go to work and food purchased in a normal way. The expectation is that those doing street food will do so the highest level of hygiene.
Members of the public will be allowed to engage in restricted outdoor activities. This will exclude team or contact sports activities or any activity that require gatherings. You can come out to walk, hike etc, but don’t congregate in groups of more than 5 and keep 6 feet away. No hugging, no hand-shaking, no kissing.
Hardwares, electrical stores to open all day to 8 am-4 pm; groceries to continue 8 am-6 pm.
Approval for TCL, WITCO, Nu Iron to resume operations from Monday. The main reason is for exports to the regional market.
We still want a level of stay at home. If you are non-essential, stay at home.
Once you leave home to go outside. wear a face covering. each and every one of us must behave as though we are carrying the virus.
Phase 2: May 24 to June 6 (if the numbers remain good)

The manufacturing sector can open back on May 24.
Public-sector construction will be restarted.
Continuation of 50% capacity for public transportation – taxis and maxis.
Phase 3: June 7 to June 20 (if the numbers remain good)

All public service will come back out to work with elements of flexitime where possible. May also consider alternate days of work.
Private sector construction will be allowed.
Increase capacity of maxis and taxis to 75%.
Phase 4: To be determined

Reopening of malls & beaches.
Phase 5: To be determined

Reopening of cinemas.
Phase 6: To be determined

Reopening of borders. With regards people wanting to leave, the prime minister said the country “is not a prison” but Minister of National Security Stuart Young also announced that they are looking at cases in which people want to leave, including farm workers in Canada and will deal with each case as it comes, with the care that citizens are guarded against venturing to places where they themselves can be placed in danger of the virus.
The opening of other commercial businesses other than those mentioned above, will be determined at a later date.

“This is not a getaway card,” the prime minister said.

He told the news conference that it was easier for him to make the decisions to close down the non-essential services than it was is to make the decisions he made Saturday.

“Because I am a little nervous now about opening up because we have seen what has happened elsewhere,” he said.

He reminded the country that “we are not virus free” adding that “there is no country in the world that has declared itself virus-free.”

“That means we have to keep our guard up as we now take the risk of going out,” the prime minister said.

All together this is good response by the Govt and the medical team to the pandemic but like the good Doctor mentioned all it takes is one person who have mild symptoms to go into a congregated environment and within days our numbers can easily increase.

8515 tests for Jamaica. 322 in last 24 hrs. Updated daily. 520 cases=127 recoveries. Most cases asymptomatic. Most cases hqave not needed hospitalisation. 400+ in isolation and others in quarantine. Latest 3 cases are Jamaicans returning from USA on May 13.

Daily reports of new cases, number of hospitalisations, number of samples tested, number of recoveries, number of people in isolation, quarantine and transitional facilities and total samples tested.

Data on imported cases, local transmission and whether or not cases are contacts of confirmed cases, how many cases are not epidemiologically linked and number under investuagtion. Daily reports.

No, I'm afraid I don't. However, on domestic BBC News yesterday, they reported that the Caribbean (including Cuba and the English-speaking West Indies) have done a good job of handling coronavirus so far. They discussed how contact tracing was taking place, and airports were closed, while they have not gone down that route in the UK. They spoke to Joy St John of Caribbean Public Health, who was very cautious in her response, and said vigilance was key, because opening up meant the possibility of a resurgence. They visited Cuba, and praised their response.

Guyana is a special place.. just the other day a patient from the Palms died from COVID19.. the nurses at the facility told the media that the man was bedridden and went to the GPHC three times..

De man end up getting worse and they rushed him to the hospital for a 4th time.. they finally decided to do a test on him, but sadly he passed away the same evening.

Since then about 5 other elderly persons tested positive for the virus at the Palms.

michaelmax 2020-05-20 14:01:42 

Yes, 145 recoveries now. I noticed that recoveries seemed stuck at 29 for a while but as it got hotter here recoveries surged. Coincidence? Sheer luck because most have been young and asymptomatic? Most were mild cases? This virus has behaved very mysteriously with major differences from place to place? Or is it that when it gets away, hospital systems become overwhelmed so HUGE numbers of deaths? Contact tracing, isolation and quarantine make a difference? All of the above?

 
michaelmax 2020-05-20 23:10:17 

Up to 529. Six of those returning from Uk plus 3 local. One of those is linked to Alorica as a contact. Interesting how UK has contributed to Ja's imported cases. The first case was from UK. 9021 samples now have been tested.Active cases 365

 
problemjay 2020-05-20 23:13:10 

one of T&T's coast guard bases went under quarantine and lockdown starting today. Some Venezuelans tried to enter T&T illegally and the coast guard apprehend them but reports say some of the officers were not wearing the PPE. So if the Venes have Covid then good chance the Coast guard officers may have it. So this could lead in an increase in T&T cases. We will to see what happens

In reply to michaelmax and Chrissy

Good questions...the UK seems to be exporting coronavirus cases now. There's no state quarantine in the UK, the airports are still open, and contact tracing still hasn't started yet! That seems to be the key differences between how badly the UK has handled this, and how well Cuba and the English-speaking Caribbean have approached coronavirus to date. You can only get accepted for a test in the UK if you display serious symptoms. Hence, why so many asymptomatic West Indians in Britain are walking around, not knowing they have coronavirus, and then getting on a flight to the Caribbean, etc. I went to the supermarket this morning, as I do once a week, and it's a scary experience, because so many Brits there don't take precautions, despite the high death toll.

We gained quite a lot from our well developed Primary Health Care systems. Contact tracing is key to success of any highly communicable disease and our various infrastructure has served us well.

Up to 564 now over last two days with 8 new cases today with 7 of those imported from returning Jamaicans. Testing expanded to infirmaries and care homes now with 1 positive o date. I expect that as we test more of the Jamaicans returning from cruise ships the imported cases will rise. The rate of increase in local cases has slowed since Alorica. Time will tell if that trend continues.

Reading the tweet from Holness, it should be quite concerning the effect of opening the borders to the US.

Ok tbf that is Mike's interpretation. The Jamaican reports report imported cases, import related and community transmission separately. TMJamaica has recently re-opened borders to Jamaicans overseas and tourists. There was word(rumours) of some 40 tourists testing positive.The MOH to date has reported less than 10 tourists who have since left. Jamaica has now down just shy of 31,000 tests.

The number of positive cases out of the 700+ tests in the previous twenty- four hours is 2.5% and the overall tests conducted and no of positives is around the same. There were 2 reported recoveries yesterday so active confirmed cases stand at 58 with two moderately ill patients. The major concern is the huge backlog which they claim will be cleared by month end.

Jamaica recorded 19 new cases of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) in the past 24 hours, pushing the number of confirmed cases to 809.

Of the new cases, 13 were imported from the United States, five were contacts of confirmed cases and one is under investigation, the Ministry of Health and Wellness reported a short while ago.

Either way be wary of anyone coming from the US

Portia had her flaws and did not choose wisely some of her closest advisors. However she was no FOOL. She NEVER embarrassed Jamaica on the international stage. She didn't use the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to lobby the US State Department to protect a drug don. She didn't order soldiers to shoot up Keith Clarke's house. She wasn't forced to resign by external forces. She didn't go hunting in South America studiously avoiding the US.


She was a very successful Labour Minister.NIF developed under her watch. She was a good tourism minister though the snobs in the industry kept on hounding her When she lost in 2007, the economy for 2006/2007 grew at 3.2%. When she returned in 2012 with a bankrupt economy and the JLP IMF agreement in tatters and with the multilaterals ready to let the country collapse, she engaged the Congressional Black Caucus through Maxine Waters. The CBC then went directly to then IMF Chief Christine Lagarde to engage. Ms. Lagarde herself said this. When she left office in 2016- growth which was absent from 2007-2011 had returned such that Andrew had gone from " bitter medicine" to prosperity and 5in4. Now the economy is in decline again and this began PRIOR to the pandemic.

Portia was able to host President Obama rather than the Secretary Clinton who never left Norman Manley airport. All in all she was a good PM. So critique her flaws but give credit where credit is due. She has surpassed Brogad,Bruce and Seaga.

It’s a tough situation for countries where tourism is the economy.

If they keep borders closed, they’re fcuked

If they open the borders to tourists, they’re fcuked

Best they can hope for is open borders carefully and put as many protocols in place so that when tourists test positive, they’re able to quarantine without interacting with the community.

Are those numbers correct?? A 19.2% mortality rate? Most of the region is averaging way less than that but those numbers are eye opening. Maybe inadequate medical treatment or older population?

Yesterday we decided to head to our favourite spot in Port Royal. Of course the restaurant is open air and the crowd was thin when we got there.
Tables and chairs were sanitized over and over and staff wore masks.

By the time we left it was clear as day that there was absolutely no social distancing taking place.

My regulars and I have not been eating out since March so we don't know what's been going on elsewhere, but while we will return to Port Royal before noon in the future, late afternoon and evening will be a no no.

There has been a rapid increase in cases throughout the Caribbean within the last two weeks but that is expected as countries lift lockdowns and open borders in an attempt to revive their economies. We already know many Caribbean islands depend on tourists (tourism) for a thriving economy

Also in the case of T&T with more people mingling and in close proximity on the streets as a political election campaign comes to an end there has been a sharp increase in Covid cases.

Any country who has had elections recently and any country which will have election soon will definitely see a rise in covid cases. In Caribbean culture there is no doubt despite any guidelines in place there will be close contact and sizeable gatherings in support of political parties.

The DR have broken six figures for cases...frightening!

Saint Martin/Sint Maarten remain high, while there are increases in Curacao and BVI.

Yep. Given 2-14 day timeline may mean some of this is a combination of nomination and election. Two days from now and into next week we should see election surge if there was any. Now that the Cabinet and Parliament has been sworn in, let's see if we see stronger measures than we have seen to date now that much of COVID is coming from Upper St.Andrew

Jamaica's death count is currently just 16 per million. We'll see how that holds up over the next week or so.

That TnT total includes the 7 in one day. They have rocketed past Barbados' 24 per million and are now on 40 per million.

Guyana = 74, Dominican Rep = 184.

According to the latest stats on Soca Music Tv not much has changed in the Caribbean nations who continue to increase cases at a rapid rate. Thankfully most cases result in successful recoveries

If not China, then it will be America. Both countries have their interest to influence the world so it does not matter to me which one. Caribbean countries should not just automatically align themselves with the US. Caribbean countries in return should just do what is best in our own interest and choose which deal benefits us more between the two countries on any issue.

Tryangle 2020-12-04 18:29:39 

In Bermuda, active cases have shot up rapidly over the last week or so, mainly from people travelling and some apparent local spread... and government has decided to tackle this with a sledgehammer...

FIVE HUNDRED DOLLAR fine for people caught not wearing mask in public spaces (conveniently, except 'exercise', eating or drinking). They've already handed out freaking tickets to people going to grocery stores because they didn't put on a mask immediately after exiting their car.

This is beyond nuts. A cash grab, certainly, when more strict warnings would have been a better first step. Hope you guys wherever you are aren't facing such a crazy prospect.

Saw a post few days ago on Soca Music Tv facebook page where stores and supermarkets in T&T will be allowed to be opened for 24 hours during the Christmas season. My guess is the government intent is to decrease the usual large crowds for Christmas shopping which can increase covid cases

The DR continues to notch up tallies that are off the charts. Over the past fortnight, the numbers of deaths and cases rose alarmingly in Belize and Jamaica. The cases went up considerably in Curacao, Sint Maarten/St Martin, French Guiana, the Bahamas, Trinidad, Guyana, Aruba, Bermuda and Cuba. The case numbers are going down in Haiti, Suriname and Guadeloupe.

The number of cases in French Guiana, Haiti, Trinidad, Guyana, Suriname, Aruba, Curacao, Sint Maarten/St Martin, Bermuda and Cuba continue to rise considerably. The numbers are falling in Guadeloupe, Martinique and the Bahamas.

At the risk of sounding like a broken record, the DR continue to have the worst numbers in cases and deaths. There's a huge gap between the DR and rest of the Caribbean. Both cases and deaths continue to rise significantly in Jamaica and Belize. The number of cases are still increasing at a worrying rate in French Guiana, Curacao, Haiti, Trinidad, Guyana, Suriname, Martinique, Aruba, St Martin/Sint Maarten and Cuba. The increase in cases is slowing in Guadeloupe and the Bahamas.

The Cuban vaccine is ready now.

"Cuba is aiming to vaccinate its population this year with its own vaccine, which would be the first developed in Latin America. The country claims it can make 100 million doses of Soberana 2, its most advanced vaccine candidate, in 2021."

In reply to mikesiva

wooh woh woh.....Trindad has not recorded more than 30 cases per day since november. Our graph has been trending downwards since the middle of november. That is because our borders are closed. And there is heavy police presence in crowded areas making sure people keep on their masks and obey the social distancing rules. Which is why we could open restaurants(50% capacity with no serving of alchahol) and soon the return of secondary school students with consequential exams coming up( CAPE and CXC),. The virus is not running away here

No Caribbean country is going to catch the DR's morbid stats any time soon. Over the past fortnight, there were significant increases in both cases and deaths in Cuba, Guyana, St Lucia, Barbados and Jamaica. The number of cases in French Guiana, Guadeloupe, Aruba, Turks & Caicos, Antigua and Haiti during this time period is also a source of concern. However, the number of cases and deaths are lower in Belize, the Bahamas, Trinidad and Suriname during the past two weeks.

Bermuda is in a bit of a quandry now. We had a number of schools including that of one of my son's, go into quarantine. My 5-year-old took 2 separate saliva tests and they came back negative. But other schools have reported cases and the daily new case rate has shot up.

Today, 81 new cases.

Looking like we on the way back to the beginning over here. Indoor gyms, churches, bowling alleys, etc. to close.

Hope things haven't swooped upwards in your neck of the woods, guys.

The DR is way out on its own. The numbers of cases and deaths in Cuba, Guyana, Curacao and Jamaica are increasing alarmingly. The growth in the number of cases in the past fortnight are a concern for French Guiana, the Bahamas, Aruba, Trinidad, St Lucia, Barbados, the Caribbean Netherlands, Antigua, Bermuda, Martinique and Guadeloupe. In Belize and Suriname, there have only been small increases in the number of cases in the past two weeks. There seems to have been a counting error in Haiti, which shows that cases were not as high as initially feared.
