I'm looking at the USVI department of health report found here: https://www.covid19usvi.com/sites/default/files/epi_reports/COVID-19_Epi%20Report_12022020.pdf There are currently 67 active cases in USVI out of which 33 are on STT (as of Dec. 2). The most interesting number that I've been watching is the number of cases linked to travel indicating how effective the health screenings are for entry. Life's short - sail more!

Lime Inn closed yesterday due to a staff member with positive COVID test results so they could test the whole team. Cheers, RickG

RickG Traveler Joined: Oct 2004 Posts: 1,968 St. John, USVI	Seems we're having a bit of a relapse. 88 positive in the USVI with 12 new cases on St. John. Lime Inn, Lime Out, Greengo's, and The Terrace are closed due to positive cases and contact tracing. Other retail stores are affected. Hearing from folks in those circles, there is one degree of separation between the businesses. The positivity rate has crept up over 5%. Today I am social distancing in Hurricane Hole while making water and working over the Internet. Not another soul in sight. Cheers, RickG

Luis Hospital, and one patient was hospitalized at the Schneider Regional Medical Center." I do hope the hospitalization rates can remain this low.
