There were no new COVID-19 deaths in To­ba­go last week, with the is­land’s death toll from the dis­ease re­main­ing at 282, as at Sat­ur­day, Sep­tem­ber 10.

That’s ac­cord­ing to lat­est week­ly up­date, cov­er­ing the pe­ri­od Sun­day 4 to Sat­ur­day 10 Sep­tem­ber 2022, from the Di­vi­sion of Health, Well­ness and So­cial Pro­tec­tion, in the To­ba­go House of As­sem­bly (THA).

In the pre­vi­ous week (Sun­day 28 Au­gust to Sat­ur­day 3 Sep­tem­ber 2022), one ful­ly vac­ci­nat­ed per­son had suc­cumbed to COVID-19.

In ad­di­tion, the THA Health Di­vi­sion re­port notes 71 more peo­ple test­ed pos­i­tive for COVID-19 in To­ba­go, last week. The num­ber of ac­tive in­fec­tions, as at Sat­ur­day, Sep­tem­ber 10, was 124.  This is a slight in­crease from the pre­vi­ous week (Au­gust 28 to Sep­tem­ber 3, 2022), at which time there were 122 ac­tive cas­es.

In terms of hos­pi­tal­i­sa­tions for COVID-19, the Health Di­vi­sion re­ports that 10 peo­ple are hos­pi­talised. Five of these pa­tients have not been vac­ci­nat­ed against the dis­ease, while the re­main­ing five pa­tients are ful­ly vac­ci­nat­ed.

The To­ba­go COVID-19 up­date al­so re­ports that pa­tients con­tin­ue to sur­vive the dis­ease as 69 peo­ple were cer­ti­fied as re­cov­ered from COVID-19 dur­ing the pe­ri­od Sep­tem­ber 4-10, 2022.

A to­tal of 10,711 in To­ba­go have re­cov­ered from COVID-19 since March 2020—up from 10,642 the pre­vi­ous week.
