Caribbean countries are within grasp of a sixth-straight week of stability as the region continues an impressive stand against the second wave of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic.

More encouragingly, 23 of the region’s 32 affected countries and territories have reported new cases within the last 24 hours.

As at 4:28 pm Greenwich Meridian Time (GMT) on Friday, November 13, collated data from respective health departments across the region have indicated a combined total of 261,736 confirmed cases of COVID-19.

Of that number, some 178,277 cases, or roughly 68.11 per cent, have officially been deemed closed. There are currently 83,459 active cases regionally.

The encouraging figures were largely the result of patients across the Caribbean reporting a full recovery from the infectious disease (173,223 recoveries to date, barring insufficient data from Puerto Rico).

In the meantime, the total number of patients who succumbed to coronavirus-related complications has steadily climbed to 5,054.

At the time of publication, only four Caribbean countries and territories have managed to bring their active caseload to zero, namely: St Kitts and Nevis, British Virgin Islands, Monserrat and Anguilla.
