Guyana’s active COVID-19 cases have been declining as of late, according to the Minister of Health.
Earlier this week the Health Minister, Dr Frank Anthony had stated that over the last few weeks, there has been a decline in the number of active cases. “If you have been looking at the number over the last couple of weeks we would have seen a relative decline in the number of active cases.”
When Stabroek News examined the active-case numbers for the first 15 days of July compared to the same period for June, a decline was noticed. In previous months, the number of active cases fluctuated.
Between the period of June 1 and 15, the highest number of active cases stood at 1,886 on June 3, while for the same period in July the highest number of active cases stood at 1,606 on July 6. The lowest number of active cases in June was on the 15th and reported to be 1,490. For July, the lowest number was also recorded on the 15th and reported to be 1,213 – a drop of 277. The decrease in active cases can be seen from July 7 to 15.
Previously, it was noted that in June there was an increase in infections and a decrease in the number of vaccinations. However this increase in infections was reported on later in that month.
This Stabroek News graph shows the number of active cases for the period of the 1st to 15th of both June and July 2021. In June those active cases visibly fluctuated while in July a steady decline can be observed
