Active COVID-19 cases drop to 1596, 13 total deaths reported
Premier and Minister of Finance, Hon Andrew A. Fahie (R1) made the announcement during a COVID-19 update last evening, July 16, 2021, that the pandemic has claimed 13 lives in the VI thus far, with 12 in 2021 and 1 in 2020.
These stats were further broken down by the Acting Chief Medical Officer, Dr Ronald E. Georges during the COVID-19 update broadcasted live on the Facebook page of the Government of the VI.
According to Dr Georges, the drop in total cases came as a result of the number of new positive cases dropping off, as well as the active caseload leveling off in the territory.
First dip in active cases since outbreak
“Today was the first day where we saw a dip in active cases and those of you would have been following the number would have seen that we went from 1,602 active cases to 1,596 active cases,” he said during the update.
The new lower active caseload came as a result of 35 recoveries and 34 new cases with a few 'unfortunate deaths' he said.
Dr Georges also indicated that the large majority of the cases remain asymptomatic where the persons infected are under quarantine or in isolation, with more projected fall in new cases predicted for the next coming weeks.
1 out of 27 hospitalised is vaccinated
Meanwhile, of the 27 persons currently hospitalised with the virus in the territory, only one out of the group is vaccinated.
To date, the territory has detected 2024 total COVID-19 cases with 420 recoveries and 13 deaths. In addition, some 24,647 COVID-19 vaccines have been administered with 14,208 receiving the first dose with 10,439 receiving both doses.

Does that tell you something?
Don't worry... only the unvaccinated are in trouble... sleep well!
And that is kinda the same thing.
Question: If I was infected and were around your parents would you feel the same?
Seriously... very interested in the answer from that vocal part of you.
This is some b******t, taken my test since Friday 9th July still haven't got my results and ths is common among many. How do you tally the numbers when you don't know the results. Kmt
Stay indoors and call an ambulance when you start coughing uncontrollably. If that doesn't happen... your good.
Comparing the statistics of deaths per million population, we just moved ahead of the Dominican Republic, and are at nearly twice the rate of Indonesia, what everyone is calling the current world's worst hotspot.
Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.
Thought it was going to be on the other end of this game... but gold is gold! and we ain't going to end it on penalties! LOL
The correct figures for vaccinations are that 14,208 have had at least one vaccination of whom 10,439 have had both jabs.
Let’s hope those figures increase today.
Get safe . Get vaccinated.
I want to appeal to every unvaccinated persons to consult with their doctors before making a decision to take the vaccine or not. Please don't make a decision without consultation of the side effects. However, before you take the vaccine, you should ensure that you don't neglect your nutrition. The virus strives well in persons who have underlying conditions such as diabetes and high blood pressure. These conditions result from your nutrition or hereditary traits.
If you are overweight get vaccinated now.
The bad news is that 25% of those are getting out of hospital with a sheet over their face
Bet your life that we are about to catch another body though.
u/o 36 1/2 but my advice is to take the over. bet24/7 is running a book.
I am done... people are about to lose their jobs and then their lives. I don't have the right nor will I impose a mandatory vaccination protocol... but the people I work for have every right to not want possibly toxic people working on their property in the most toxic country on the planet right now. That is their right, it works both ways.
Everyone has rights... but not everyone has a job come Monday. It's a personal choice... Just ask Bishop Cline SMFH.
So doing the math that means 36 more unvaccinated people are going to die if we don't get another case??? Average family = 6 or 60 x 36 = a lot of sad family members.
Time to extend the fasting and praying!
ps. Can you short a country? Asking for a friend.
Come on my people the life you save might be your very own.
Sad to say but we didn't have to get to this state.
I dread the death toll for tge next coming weeks, there's still lots more who refused to take the jab and also take the test.
We come from many different countries with many different cultural views. I am so happy for him.
There is nothing better in life than watching a man defeat his fear.
