With the Ministry of Health now seeing a slight uptick in COVID-19 cases, which includes admissions in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU), Minister of Health Frank Anthony is once again reminding the public that the virus is not over.
“…COVID is not over. I know a lot of people would want to think so but we are now having [an] increase in cases despite low levels of testing and we are seeing a number of those persons having severe infections that warrants hospitalization and in some cases it’s so serious that they’re going into the ICU,” Anthony said during the COVID-19 update on Friday.
“I wanna make an appeal to everyone, make sure that your vaccines are up-to-date, that you have gotten your booster shots because there seems to be a new wave that’s coming and we are seeing the beginning of that wave so we need to be prepared,” he added.
