Sandals Resorts Zika Virus Update as of Feb 17, 2016

Planning your Sandals Resort Trip?

Here’s an update on the status of the various islands that Sandals resorts operates on:

• Jamaica

  • Has had only one confirmed case
  • There was one case that was recorded, but was not confirmed to be locally transmitted. The patient has been cured and there has been no known spread of the virus.
  • That same individual has already recovered and nothing since has been reported. As of February 3, CDC has added Jamaica to the list of Zika affected countries.

• Saint Lucia

  • No Zika Virus Cases have been reported.

• Bahamas

  • No Zika Virus Cases have been reported.

• Barbados

  • As of February 3, there have only been 3 confirmed locally transmitted Zika Virus Cases.

• Turks & Caicos

  • No Zika Virus Cases have been reported.

• Antigua

  • No Zika Virus Cases have been reported.

• Grenada

  • No Zika Virus Cases have been reported.

Of course things can change, but as of February 17, 2016 there does not appear to be a tremendous amount of concern for the islands where Sandals exists – but precautionary insect repellent is always advised.
