This comes as Minister for Health and Social Development, Hon Carvin Malone had said it was troubling that a large number of cases in the VI had originated in the community.
According to the latest epidemiology report, for testing done on September 23, and reported on the 24th, some 43 of the total active cases were detected in close contacts of existing cases with 15 on Tortola and a whopping 46 in Virgin Gorda.
It remains unclear what measures have been taken to contain the spread of the virus on the sister island, however, sources have indicated that the majority of cases may have originated at one location.
To date, some 81,711 test samples from 76,446 persons were tested at the Dr. D. Orlando Smith Hospital Laboratory in the VI.

Reading between the lines that means it does not prevent asymptomatic infection and it’s spread.
We are going by the script “they” are feeding the world instead of using our heads as they did at first when there was no vaccine available.
Now logic & common sense have been replaced by ideology of a righteous panacea which in reality has short comings.
"Forever Oh Lord Your Word is settled in heaven." Earth cannot prevent it from being settled in it.
Covid-19 virus new spike
It is true that we have to make adjustments to the covid-19 virus situation that we are experiencing in our country. Unfortunately, many of us are still denying that the covid-19 virus is real. Because of this self-embraced deception, our health situation remain unstable, better yet kept at a minimum. Unfortunately, this may not happen soon, or maybe not, mostly because we have regarded the riches of dead material things over the richness of Almighty God our Creator and true Father righteousness.
Sadly, we have made the prickly beds of sin, caused by our own covetousness, now we must pay the price of our chosen.
Offr us your proof, if you have any, that Virgin Gorda is too small to have so many covid-19 virus positive persons. Virgin Gorda presently hs in excess of two thousand persons living on the Island. Why then are 46 positive covid-19 virus cases too many? Musa, please stop exposing yourself ingnorantly to the general public.
