The only islands reporting cases until now have been Dom. Republic, st Martin, Martinique, and St Barts. Those have seemed to be fairly contained. I hope this case will be, too!

Freaking wow! No participation in Penn relays this year.
Looks like all public gatherings are gone.
The woman with the virus is a Jamaican who lives in the UK...she was not considered high risk.
