St. Croix has 7 of 10 coronavirus cases, two additional cases reported last night. The two latest cases are a result of close contact with an infected person. Close contact transmission of the virus on St. Croix went from 14 to 16 in approximately 24 hours. Governor Albert Bryan said Monday his administration was considering shutting down bars to slow the recent rise in confirmed cases in the territory. "Right now the bar is one of the targets we're looking at and really contemplating if we need to shutdown bars and just have restaurants open, because that seems to be where the spread is coming from," the governor said Monday.
Department of Health officials urged the public to follow all safety guidelines: wear your face coverings, stay home if you are sick, stay home if you are elderly or immune-compromised. If you experience any symptoms like fever, chills, body aches, and/or cough call 340-712-6299 or 340-776-1519.
