There was one new COVID-19 death re­port­ed in To­ba­go last week—that of an un­vac­ci­nat­ed per­son—with the is­land’s death toll from the dis­ease now at 286, as at Sat­ur­day, Oc­to­ber 15.

That’s ac­cord­ing to lat­est week­ly up­date, cov­er­ing the pe­ri­od Sun­day 9 to Sat­ur­day 15 Oc­to­ber 2022, from the Di­vi­sion of Health, Well­ness and So­cial Pro­tec­tion, in the To­ba­go House of As­sem­bly (THA).

Pri­or to Sat­ur­day last, there had been no new COVID-19-re­lat­ed deaths for two weeks, since Sun­day 25 Sep­tem­ber 2022.

In ad­di­tion, the THA Health Di­vi­sion re­port notes 8 more peo­ple test­ed pos­i­tive for COVID-19 in To­ba­go, last week. The num­ber of ac­tive in­fec­tions, as at Sat­ur­day, Oc­to­ber 15, was 47. This rep­re­sents no change from the pre­vi­ous week (2-8 Oc­to­ber 2022), at which time there were 47 ac­tive cas­es.

In terms of hos­pi­tal­i­sa­tions for COVID-19, the Health Di­vi­sion re­ports that five peo­ple are hos­pi­talised, all of whom have not been vac­ci­nat­ed against the dis­ease.

The To­ba­go COVID-19 up­date al­so re­ports that pa­tients con­tin­ue to sur­vive the dis­ease as sev­en peo­ple were cer­ti­fied as re­cov­ered from COVID-19 dur­ing the pe­ri­od Oc­to­ber 9 to 15, 2022.
