Jost Van Dyke is now on 24hr 7 day lockdown and it looks like its due to boats coming in from St Thomas I thought it was because of the infected passenger that traveled to SVG from the BVI. Is it actually from boats sneaking in?

We were wondering if people were “sneaking around” down there - maybe not bareboat captained or day boats? We had a group come over to CGB from VG last weekend on a center console and before they even got to the dinghy dock, the police were there asking questions. We're not seeing boats sneak in here to CGB but it would be a lot easier on JVD.

Colin from JVD Scuba is on FB pleading for food and water. Is it that bad on Jost? I'm assuming due to no previous notice for the lockdown.
Go Irish!!

nope still Covid-19 free... Don't fool yourself. A more accurate statement would be the BVI is free of confirmed Covid 19 cases. There are undoubtedly asymptomatic cases or mild cases circulating. My daughter in FL got a sinus infection a few weeks ago. She called her doctor to get some antibiotics. He said get tested for Covid. She did got tested but felt fine after two days . Five days later she got the results back - positive for Covid, not a sinus infection She quarantined and contact traced. One friend had similar low grade symptoms. On Thursday this week she was tested again this time negative via rapid test. Thank god. The CDC says there is likely 13 times more people who have been infected in the US than the current confirmed cases. That would mean the vast majority that are infected show little or no symptoms. This is really bad news for the ability to control the spread. I wish all the best to the folks on JVD. One of my favorite places.

Most confusing post ever. Did she have it or not. Can't tell. Any way good luck to all. At the end of the day we will all get it. most of us will survive. More then most will survive, it’s a flu with the highest survival rates

The SVG governmemnt have confirmed she NEVER had an infection it was a false positive. The only good thing to come from this is the confirmation that we are COVID-19 free not fooling myself just following the science and hightened border patrols
