Fifteen of the recorded cases have been registered on the main island of Tortola; two cases on Virgin Gorda and one each on the islands of Anegada and Jost Van Dyke. A further five cases were said to be isolated to vessels.

According to the dashboard, 23 of the cases were detected following entry into the BVI with seven coming on Day 0; 13 cases on Day 4 and one case on Day 14.

Two of the cases were listed as having come from travel screening while only one case was classified as being local.

All cases and close contacts of those affected by the virus have reportedly been quarantined.
