Traced to a male tourist. Wonder what the odds are he traveled through SXM prior to taking the ferry over to Anguilla?
And how did you arrive at that? From the article "Permanent Secretary Foster Rogers said this is a cluster of cases of unknown origin rather than from community spread." No mention of a male tourist.

I haven't seen the article you are referring to. The 'official' (I loathe to call something on a Facebook page 'official') but the official Facebook page for Anguilla has a link which states in part
"On 21 April, a case of COVID-19 was confirmed in a symptomatic female resident of Anguilla who had no apparent direct links to any imported case of the virus. Linked to this case, two further persons have tested positive on the evening of 21 April. In accordance with public health practices for containment and prevention of spread: • All three persons who tested positive have been placed in isolation; and • The Ministry of health and health Authority colleagues have initiated aggressive contact tracing to identify every individual who may have come into close contact with these three persons. All individuals thus identified will be placed under quarantine and tested. "
BUT all of this is really about Anguilla, not SXM...

How the heck is 3 cases a "CLUSTER"? What a bunch of crap! IF this is accurate, there has to be a case or two on SXM that involves a tourist.

Hi guys. This whole thread has nothing to do with SXM. Will move it to General Caribbean.

Old news. Now has 47 cases. Linked to illegal entry where several Anguillians decided to go to SXM and reentered illegally and brought the SXM virus with them. This was always our worry but dodged the bullet for a year. We are getting it under control.
