Cayman Islands: COvid-19 Cases - 205 cases; 1 death

https://www.caymancompass.com/2020/0...id-19-testing/

Almost every country in the world is by now keeping a close eye on the daily changes in coronavirus cases and where they find themselves on the COVID-19 curve.

But it is important to understand the limitations of this case data, especially when comparing different countries.

A new COVID-19 report by the Caribbean Development Bank, for example, shows that Montserrat and the Cayman Islands have by far the highest number of coronavirus cases on a per capita basis in the Caribbean.

Cayman currently has 66 cases, with one death related to COVID-19. Seven of the infected have recovered, resulting in 59 active cases in the islands. Cayman has a population of about 65,000. Montserrat recorded 11 coronavirus cases for a population of less than 5,000.

Given that Cayman and Montserrat are leading the Caribbean in coronavirus testing per capita, the number of cases relative to the population is a reflection of this high level of testing rather than the virulence of COVID-19.

Although Cayman has analysed only 778 coronavirus tests, this is just slightly less on a per capita basis than the US, which has tested about 3.9 million Americans. Montserrat’s meagre number of 36 tests in total still means it has carried out the second most tests in relation to its population in the Caribbean.
