ROAD TOWN, Tortola, VI- After initial samples tested at the Caribbean Public Health Agency (CARPHA) in July 2021 had shown no variants of concern, the Ministry of Health and Social Development has now confirmed that one COVID-19 sample has tested positive for the Delta variant.

Acting Chief Medical Officer, Dr Ronald E. Georges reported that out of eight Covid-19 samples sent to the Caribbean Public Health Agency (CARPHPA) for genetic typing on August 4, 2021, one sample tested positive for the Delta variant (B.1.617.2) while all other samples identified no variants of concern or variants of interest.

According to Dr Georges, in a press release on August 15, 2021, the identified case had no travel history and the household included two other positive contacts, one of whom met criteria for sequencing and tested negative for the Delta variant. 

“These cases and contacts were all quarantined and cleared in accordance with established protocols,” he said.

'Adhere to public health measures'- Dr Georges

Dr Georges stated that the community should continue to take personal responsibility and adhere to public health measures and quarantine guidelines to limit the spread of COVID-19. 

He said all positive cases should ensure that they follow the isolation guidelines and continue to take every opportunity to get vaccinated.”

After the Virgin Islands experienced a COVID-19 outbreak where cases surged to over 1600 and over 30 COVID-19 related deaths were recorded in June-July 2021, many had come to the conclusion that the Delta variant or some other highly contagious strain had reached the territory’s shores.

Delta (B.1.617.2) is a sublineage of B.1.617, which was first detected in India.

According to research, Delta spreads more easily and may lead to more severe disease for unvaccinated people.

    Scientist,fauci and the rest of the puppets already said they put some of the virus in the vaccine to fight off the virus and still the dumb people take the vaccine. Ask yourself something did they jump in the air to get the covid-19 vaccine and then put it in the vaccine of course you will never use common sense. I bet you it's the Cline pastor since he's do determine that is was. Wake up people no virus can spread like that it has to be injected into the body. Real not sell out doctor should also know that. Why are the real doctors not saying that the mask is what breaks the immune system down because your inhaling carbon dioxide from your breathe slowly killing yourself. You might as well go in your garage turn on your car and speed up the process because it's the same thing. You supposed to breathe the air your accustom to breathing for your whole life. They already recall numerous hand sanitizer because it's deadly to anyone killing off your natural bacteria what the Creator gave you to fight off all diseases. You pray to God but put your trust in man and ask God to protect you from the vaccine which has the Luciferase. Wow. Depopulation on full effect. Curfew is to hook up the 5g wake up people we're under attack and the vaccinated are the ones who should fear for them lives

      You don’t sound like you feel okay. And that is understandable. These are overwhelming times with all the sad and difficult and scary things happening in the world. The emergence of Covid 19, and now all the Covid mutations (like the Covid Delta variant) only makes life feel less manageable. I hope you feel strength from God. But I also hope you realize you can reach out for help, as there are many sources right here in the BVI; Dr. Samuel, The Wellness Center (plenty others I don’t know). These are people who are professionally trained to help us explore and manage our thoughts and feelings in a more beneficial way. Reach out for help. Also, I’ll pray for you. And I’d be grateful if you’ll pray for me too.
      Peace be with you, ok!

    While I agree wid u that Fauci and others told lies about the virus. You have your analogy mixed up. Yes some of the virus is in the vaccine so if u catch the virus the body tells itself I know this guy and adapts to keep it from mutating so the virus does not attack the body cuz it met someone it knows as oppose to going somewhere strange and then fights to survive by attacking your body and if your immune system is not strong the rest is history. The COVID19 was developed in the great USA not China. The intention was to blame China but it has backfired. Check the list of the most infected Countries and see where China falls compared to the USA and other Western Countries and you would see. The vaccine is the antidote to COVID19 and is safe.

    Too many people are uninformed even those that are supporters of getting the vaccine. Covid19 is not in the AZ vaccine. It is a another type of weakened virus that transports the vaccine. An adenovirus. Fauci is a US doctor and does not speak on behalf of anybody except the US government. He is not a representative of any of the makers of the vaccines and certainly does not represent AstraZeneca or the European Medicines Agency. The common cold is also caused by a virus and it spreads the same way as Covid so the idiot with the first comment should get a mental checkup. The only reason we dont wear mask to avoid catching the cold is because the risk of death from the cold is slim and that would be an overkill but nurses and doctors do wear mask when interacting with people with the cold.

    School is a programming from the elites the wicked people that runs this Earth that we live in. If your so smart why did they all the resources from us that the Almighty creator gave us from the beginning of time. They stole the land from us and charge us right back. Do you own your house smartie pants out there who think they know everything. If you paid off your house that you worked hard for if you don't pay the taxes which is bullshit to keep you in slavery because it's what takes most of your money when the same wicked people who takes your taxes print the money for every country that's why they have the eagle for Freemasonry,the one eye pyramid for the one eye God. Learn the signs, symbols and numbers so you can learn shit. The same medical sign is the serpent for the devil but your dumb ass don't know. If your smart why don't you noticed the mainstream media only promotes, racism, police killing, transgender, and fake police shooting. Do you ever pay attention to all the station with the same news clips Same footage. All professional camera not like the normal people. If your smart go to the vaccine site and ask them to see the ingredients in the vaccine. Do you homework don't just listen to people without checking for yourself. If your so smart why is the vaccine approved for emergency use but not for liable. Wow I guess your dumb because it's approved once giving to the sheeps. Wake up. You can't sue because they know people are dying. Why are people being censored for lying if that's what they say. I guess only smart people will figure that out. All your money goes to bills,rent,kids etc when we're supposed to be living by trade not money the root of all evil

    The delta has finally arrived. My thoughts however is simple. If the infected person has no travel history, how did they get it. Obviously from someone. I am not too smart but by the process of elimination would that not mean that at the very least there are at least two cases in the territory.

    What's next after Delta I will tell you, the omega the end. Either of the virus or of mankind.

    So a man who has zero travel history just showed up with the delta? Interesting. So where did he get it from or was it manufactured here? Like I said from before you have 1600 plus people who tested positive but you send a small percentage of their samples to Trinidad for genetic sequencing. So what about the larger percentage of samples?

    The answer my friend is blowing in the wind, the answer is blowing in the wind.

    Delta was always here. You cannot have that level of transmissibility and mortality in such a short space of time and it not be a variant of concern.

    Will we now start to quarantine the vaccinated as we should be doing? Was this person vaccinated? I am sure if they weren’t they would say.

    Please adhere to the basic protocols: social distancing, mask wearing in enclosed spaces and practice proper hygiene. Also make all efforts to build up your immune system safely and naturally: exercise, rest, diet, stress management, proper hydration, get some sun.

Did any of those died had the Delta or any other strange variant? Why do we do half hearted incomplete analysis

Ask yourself why do a pregnant woman have to take prenatal pills in these generation when our parents and grandparents never took them and where fine but the kids now get all kinds of poison when we're supposed to be pure from the creator no sickness nothing. You all comments is bull**** giving man more credit than the Almighty creator natural body.

Your book smart which was written by man who says humans only use 20% percent of the brains well you don't even use that. I take no medication and I don't get sick or go to the hospital period. If your smart you would know that every seven years your body turns back like brand new but I bet you never knew that. If you do a deep digging on the world we live in you will wake up.

The vaccines have saved the lives of the millions of infected people who were vaccinated and suffered only illness while the others who were not died and gave up the ghost. Never forget the same Almighty Creator who has given your body good health thus far, it is not of your own doing AND it will not last. Your body will fail you as you continue to age. If you continue to age. How can you fear depopulation agendas and still trust the same Almighty Creator you spoke of? Fear GOD and Fear HIM ONLY. Everything is else nonsense. Every other reasoning other than LIFE from & with HIM, TRUST IN HIM, along with FEAR OF HIM is a whisper from another. Do not be deceived by your fears, the enemy uses it against you. CHOOSE LIFE. TRUST in ALMIGHTY PROTECTION from anyone's agenda. He keeps his promises he is not like us who can be swayed by new information. HE IS ALPHA & OMEGA. Even Death has no power over HIS PROMISES.
