The Caribbean has come to another critical crossroads as the fight against the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) sees the region’s active and closed cases on somewhat equal footing for a second-straight week.

As at 5:48 pm Greenwich Meridian Time (GMT) on Sunday, July 26, respective health departments have collectively confirmed 90,297 COVID-19 cases.

Of the Caribbean’s massive caseload, 46,509 cases (or roughly 52 per cent) are officially declared closed as patients have either recovered from the disease (44,514 recoveries to date, barring unavailable data from Puerto Rico) or died from coronavirus-related complications (1,995 deaths).

Only five regional countries and territories have managed to bring their active caseload to zero: Dominica, Grenada, British Virgin Islands, Anguilla, and the Cayman Islands.
