The Tourism Minister said that 60 ships are expected to call on Grand Cayman through June.
The Cayman Island’s chief medical officer said that during phase one, there had not been a significant change in new cases on the island.
Grand Cayman was one of the last cruise ports to resume operations in the Caribbean.
