But some smaller islands are just now reaching their first pandemic peaks: Saint Kitts and Nevis, Barbados, Anguilla and Saint Vincent and the Grenadines are now reporting their highest ⬆️ number of COVID infections and COVID-related deaths.
Many of the Caribbean’s larger islands 🏝 are seeing downward trends – including Cuba, which for months has been managing a large COVID outbreak.
Across North, Central and South America, COVID infections 🦠 and deaths are decreasing ⬇️, with a few exceptions.
Belize is reporting a sharp jump in COVID-related deaths and Paraguay saw a doubling of COVID cases in the last week.
Over the last week, the Americas 🌎 reported over 800,000 new COVID infections 🦠 and 18,000 COVID-related deaths – the lowest COVID figures in over a year.
We have reason to be optimistic, but we must remain vigilant.
