Cayman Islands April 17 Update
Cayman Islands’ leaders noted with cautious optimism that while the COVID-19 coronavirus continues to exist in clusters within the community, the suppression measures put into place are working. At the COVID 19 press conference today (Friday, 17 April 2020) they noted that the measures, notably social distancing and hand washing will continue to protect the people, if all strictly follow them and cooperate with requirements.
The reopening of the Cayman Islands economy will have to be done in phases to ensure that there are no adverse repercussions since this is a new virus and the majority of the people here do not have immunity to it. This could result in a runaway spread of the disease in the community, triggering deaths, if the reopening of the country and its economy are not carefully undertaken.
While the Miami flights were successfully concluded today, the Cayman Airways flights to Nicaragua to take that country’s citizens to Managua have now been cancelled due to the closure of that country’s borders.
