After six more positive results on Boxing Day, the Ministry of Health today revealed that Trinidad and Tobago has 11 confirmed cases of the Covid-19 Omicron variant.
Of the six new cases, three were foreigners aboard an international ship which has already left our waters, two were nationals with a recent travel history and one is a national with no history of travel—whose case is now pending epidemiological investigation.
Since Christmas Day, Trinidad and Tobago has had 75 deaths due to the novel coronavirus with 1,060 new infections. The figure is expected to trend upwards owing to the commonplace congregating during the holidays.
