 The Ministry of Health, Wellness and Elderly Affairs continues to manage the fourth wave in country. From July 25th, 2021, we note 4,433 cases as an average of 90 cases per day. During that period, we note 40 COVID-19 deaths and COVID-19-related deaths with a case fatality rate of 0.9%. Females account for 60% of the deaths. The average age of the deaths is 66 years. At present, we have 2,567 active cases in country. The daily infection rate for the past week was 67.9 per 100,000 per day and an average of 123 cases per day. In relation to this new wave, from July 25th, 2021, 4,433 persons tested positive for COVID-19. 52% are in the age group 25 to 49 years and 58% of the cases are female. The majority of the COVID-19 cases are from castries, grozyle, viewfort and babano. Based on the contact tracing data, the majority of the cases diagnosed are related to workplaces and spread between families. We have not yet peaked and we continue to note increases from the past week and increases in the number of deaths. To date, from the positive cases diagnosed in country, less than 2% have been fully vaccinated. The Ministry of Health, Wellness and Elderly Affairs continues to work to strengthen the public health system and manage the increased COVID-19 cases. We are working closely with the Minibus Association and the commercial sector to strengthen measures to reduce transmission at that level. We continue to ask the public to work with us and exhibit responsible behavior to manage this fourth wave. Let us all take personal responsibility to keep ourselves and families safe. At present, we have available both the Pfizer and AstraZeneca vaccines free of charge in country at the various wellness centers and the vaccination sites. Vaccination remains the most effective public health measure in protecting persons from developing COVID-19 with severe forms, complications, hospitalizations and death. These vaccines have been proven to be safe and effective. We continue to urge the public to access the various sites to get immunized at the soonest and to also encourage your family and friends and colleagues to get immunized as well. At the high level of community spread noted in country at this point, we continue to advise the public to remain vigilant and adhere to the protocols that are put in place to keep you safe. These include regular hand washing the use of the face mask in public places, avoiding crowds and persons with respiratory symptoms and keeping frequently touched surfaces clean. The Ministry of Health and Wellness as usual will continue providing updates to the public as new information becomes available.
