The Ministry of Health today said that 1016 new COVID-19 cases have been reported over the last 24 hours.
This figure is another daily record which has been broken several times this week. The unprecedented number of COVID cases is believed linked to the rampaging Omicron variant which is extremely contagious. Most of the international reportage on Omicron suggests that it is less severe than the Delta variant.
Despite the high number of cases, the ministry yesterday said that only four persons are in the ICU.
