Cayman is currently the world's hotspot for new COVID-19 cases.
For the last week, the New York Times has featured Cayman at the top of the list for daily average cases per 100,000 people.
Cayman's daily average rate of 147 new COVID cases means it leads the world when that figure is adjusted for population size.
Data show that the number of people in Cayman testing positive increased nearly fivefold in the last 14 days.
The Cayman Compass newspaper has reported that the country's first true COVID wave is building rapidly.
In the last five weeks, active cases have skyrocketed from 70 on October 1 to 1,600 on November 5.
