Although you may not want to frighten your kids by talking about Coronavirus (COVID-19), parents need to be there for their kids to ease their concerns about the virus. The first case of Coronavirus in the Cayman Islands was confirmed on Thursday 12 March 2020 during a Government press conference. The Cayman Islands Government has assured the public that the public health authorities are closely monitoring the situation and persons infected with this virus. The best thing you can do to protect your children is to encourage them to wash their hands and practice good hygiene.
