The Virgin Islands Department of Health said Saturday that it has received confirmation of four new confirmed cases of the coronavirus in the territory. This brings the territory’s total confirmed cases to 30 —eleven on Croix, seventeen on St. Thomas, and two on St. John, the first confirmed case on that island. To avoid COVID-19 and help prevent its spread, Department of Health officials recommend the following steps:
- Limit socializing and close contact with others, as persons without symptoms can still transmit the virus. While sick, avoid contact with others. Avoid persons with cold or flu-like symptoms.
- Stay home if you are sick.
