Of the 3,005 tests carried between Friday, 19 Nov, and Monday morning, 559, or 18.6%, returned positive.
This positivity rate has steadily increased since October and is marginally higher than last week’s average, indicating that the current wave of COVID cases has not yet peaked.

The total number of cases recorded in the Sister Islands increased to 107 after one new positive case was identified in the previous 24 hours.
Out of the total number of cases in the Sister Islands, 55 were fully vaccinated, six were partially vaccinated, and 46 were unvaccinated.
The total number of cases recorded in the Cayman Islands since the start of the pandemic has climbed to 6,091.
