This evening, the Ministry of Health reported 85 new cases of Covid-19. This figure is the highest number of cases reported in a day since November 2020. This week alone has seen more than 200 new cases so far–nearly 15% of this year’s total.
The total number of confirmed Covid-19 infections reported since March 2020 is now 8,596. The rolling seven-day average is just over 42 cases per day.
