Health Watch: The Virgin Islands Ministry of Health says the reported hantavirus cluster tied to a cruise vessel outside the Caribbean poses a low local risk, with port health teams staying on routine inspections and enhanced surveillance with CARPHA. STI Access: A new Safe Access Program is launching an at-home STI testing option for free via RAINN partners, with early focus including the U.S. Virgin Islands and other areas with limited healthcare access. Waste & Environment: VIWMA has reclaimed the Mon Bijou bin site, removing about 2,800 illegal tires after months of dumping that fueled health and fire risks. Local Governance: Premier Wheatley says the VI needs a modern constitution to move forward “without undue impediment,” kicking off public engagement on constitutional negotiations. Marine Alert: In Anegada, officials are responding to a fish die-off at Flamingo Pond after sargassum buildup and decomposition were flagged as the likely cause.
