The Ministry of Health, Wellness and Elderly Affairs continues to manage the fourth wave in country. From July 25, 2021 to present we note 7,308 cases at an average of 65 cases per day. In the management of the fourth wave, we have also carried out over 33, 500 tests. 50% of the diagnosed cases are in the age group 25-49 years and 57% of the cases are female. At present we have 246 active cases in country. The majority of the cases are from the Castries, Vieux-Fort, Gros- Islet and Babonneau districts. At present, 24 COVID-19 patients are admitted to the Respiratory Hospital, 1 in critical condition and 6 are severely ill. The daily infection rate for the past week was 7.2 per 100,000 per day which is a 42% decrease from the previous week. We note that we have reached a slow rate of decline at this point, with a present rate of transmission of 1.0.
