The COVID-19 pandemic in the Turks and Caicos Islands is part of the ongoing global viral pandemic of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), which was confirmed to have reached the British Overseas Territory of the Turks and Caicos Islands on 23 March 2020,[2] and the first death occurred on 5 April.[3] On 12 May, all cases were declared resolved,[4] but on 20 June, new cases had been discovered.[5] On 4 July 2021, all cases resolved again.[6] On 8 July, new cases were discovered.[1]

Background[edit]

On 12 January 2020, the World Health Organization (WHO) confirmed that a novel coronavirus was the cause of a respiratory illness in a cluster of people in Wuhan City, Hubei Province, China, which was reported to the WHO on 31 December 2019.[7][8]

The case fatality rate for COVID-19 has been much lower than SARS of 2003,[9][10] but the transmission has been significantly greater, with a significant total death toll.[11][9] From 19 March, Public Health England no longer classified COVID-19 as a "High consequence infectious disease".[10]
