Dominica Reports a Rise in COVID Cases

According to health authorities in Dominica, 830 new Covid-19 cases were recorded recently. Two deaths were reported for the first time in many weeks, bringing the death toll to 4,379, while the number of positive cases now stands at 588,48. 

The country's total infection count climbed to 3,805 on the same day. The health authorities stated that the number of positive cases per day is presently 15.91 percent and that of the previous four weeks is 7.08%.

Occupancy in hospitals has increased to 5.1 percent, and ICU wards currently have nine patients for 1.5 percent of total beds, while 0.74% is the new fatality rate. 

In light of the aforementioned data, there is great concern in the country and demands for action have been made. Given that the protection has been entrusted to individuals, the fact that significant number of people still remain unvaccinated is causing unrest.
