UPDATED: First confirmed case of COVID-19 in Cayman
The first case of coronavirus has been confirmed in the Cayman Islands, Premier Alden McLaughlin said at a press conference Thursday afternoon.
The patient is a visitor – a 68-year-old man from Italy – who was transferred from a cruise ship to Health City Cayman Islands for a critical cardiac issue, the premier said.
He was one of two sick passengers taken off the Caribbean Princess Monday. The ship did not dock here, nor were any other passengers allowed off.
The Italian man was taken directly to isolation at Health City Cayman Islands, while the second ill passenger was airlifted to Florida.
