    Would like to know if these positive Covid cases are are in people who are unvaccinated, or if it included people who are unvaccinated?

    @be real. It cant be people who fully vaccinated. Fully vaccnated people dont do test on day one and more. If you guys read properly you wont ask these silly question. The caught the positive cases on day one and day 7. So which means. Not fully vaccinated people. Day 7 for person who is not vaccinated so they doing 7 dys quarantine.

        Vaccinated persons coming in with an unvaccinated child/person has to be tested and quarantined. However, vaccinated persons travelling alone or with other vaccinated persons are not being tested once they get here. I am sure there are a lot of vaccinated persons among us have COVID. You all need to wear mask, social distance and sanitize your hands. Remember children are not vaccinated and can get it and spread it to classmates etc. Daycares are open and soon will summer camps. Currently, there are two positive cases among children in a summer camp in St Thomas, more are waiting to be tested. Also there are over 40 cases of the Delta variant in the USVI. Stay woke people.

    @@ be real, Most of you are really stupid because you can't understand the importance of been vaccinated, what it means for the islands to make a comeback. Just take a look at the USA and the rest of the world who have high numbers vaccinated.

    This is what pisses me off. I have had numerous people tell me they are fully vaccinated, so they don't have to wear a mask. I asked them who told them that and they stated some official when they entered our island. I know good and well that did not happen because we all know the vaccine does not stop them from getting or spreading the virus. I made them put on a mask or no service. Our jobs are getting difficult with this misinformation. Mr. Wheatley needs to inform everyone who lived here and tourists entering our borders, forthwith.

      Agree with you. As a fully vaccinated “visitor”, I wear my face covering whenever I’m in a public place, indoors and even outside when in a crowded space. I feel this is a responsible practice.
      What worries me is that I see so many people wearing their masks below their noses. Which defeats the purpose of wearing the mask.
