Medical practitioners on the frontlines across the Caribbean continue to fare well against the onset of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, as the region presses on with more closed cases than new infections.

Out of the 32 affected countries and territories, 23 have reported new COVID cases within the last 24 hours.

As at 6:24 pm Greenwich Meridian Time (GMT) on Sunday, October 11, collated data from respective health departments across the region have indicated a combined total of 215,789 confirmed cases of COVID-19.

Of that number, some 148,934 cases, or roughly 69 per cent, have officially been deemed closed.

The encouraging figures were largely the result of patients across the Caribbean reporting a full recovery from the infectious disease (144,528 recoveries to date, barring insufficient data from Puerto Rico).

In the meantime, the total number of patients who succumbed to coronavirus-related complications has risen to 4,406.

Still, only five Caribbean countries and territories have managed to bring their active caseload to zero, namely: the British Virgin Islands, St Vincent and the Grenadines, Grenada, Monserrat and Anguilla.
