Acting Chief Medical Officer – Dr Ronald Georges says most of the Covid 19 deaths in the BVI are persons who are obese and suffering from chronic diseases.
As of Monday July 19th , the death toll was 19 persons. Giving a Covid 19 update to the territory, Dr Georges says when one looks at the situation at the Dr D Orlando Smith Hospital, what people need to understand is that the statistics are playing out as is done all over the world. He says the Virgin Islands is no different to India, China, Italy, the USA or the UK and people must realise that Covid is a serious condition and the symptoms vary and some may be hospitalised and may die.
