CHARLOTTE AMALE, ST. Thomas, USVI - The USVI Department of Health (D.O.H) this week confirmed its 25th COVID-19 related death in the U.S. Virgin Islands, which comes over a month after the 24th fatality.

The latest death occurred on St. Croix, and the victim was a senior citizen.

"After further investigating cause of death and ensuring notification of next of kin, the Virgin Islands Department of Health is saddened to confirm the territory’s twenty-fifth death related to Covid-19," D.O.H. said in a release Wednesday. The department confirmed the deceased to be a 76-year old male.

"The department continues to work to slow the spread of COVID-19. Please continue to follow these precautionary measures: stay at home, practice social distancing, wear a mask when in company of others outside of those in your household, clean frequently used areas thoroughly, and wash your hands often with soap and warm water," D.O.H. said.

St. Thomas is leading COVID-19 related fatalities with 15, followed by St. Croix with 9, and St. John with 1, according to data provided by D.O.H.

    I am now convinced that this covid thing is all a damn hoax, there's no such thing as covid, Governments trying to control us all.
    What good is a vaccine if you can still get covid? Still has to quarantine if you enter the islands? Wash hands, social distance, and still spread covid?
    This is not real people, AIDS been around from 1980, lots has died from it, yet no vaccine over 30 years now, covid, is here and a vaccine/ vaccines are here within 6 months, does that make sense to you herds?
    What is wrong with you people? The world has so many educated fools yet everyone is lining up to drink Jim Jones tainted kool-aid.

    Not a damn thing killing people but their dirty minds
    Damn conspiracy theory and all you illiterate black idiots like goats lining up putting stuff into uour veins as if you know what they are injecting in your body.
    Black people will never know their worth until their backs are against the wall and still the w***** swines will be able to fool them because they hate to read and do their own research.
    Most w***** swines don't believe in hell nor heaven therefore only a few believe in God and that's a fact, therefore they don't care.
