The recovery rate was 96%, with 600 active cases having been recorded. The number of people in need of hospitalization for COVID-19 continues to decrease, with the country’s bed occupancy rate declining to 0.7% during the week under review from 0.9% the previous week. This indicates that the national response measures being instituted by Government continue to pay off.
