Two more peo­ple—one el­der­ly male and one el­der­ly fe­male—have lost their lives to COVID-19, ac­cord­ing to the lat­est ad­vi­so­ry from the Min­istry of Health.  These lat­est deaths have pushed up the na­tion­al death toll to 4,168 lives lost.

The Min­istry says both de­ceased per­sons had mul­ti­ple co­mor­bidi­ties, in­clud­ing hy­per­ten­sion, cere­brovas­cu­lar dis­ease, kid­ney dis­ease, and neu­ro­log­i­cal dis­ease.

In its up­date for to­day, Sat­ur­day 10 Sep­tem­ber 2022, the Min­istry of Health al­so re­ports that 234 more peo­ple have test­ed pos­i­tive for COVID-19.  At present, the to­tal num­ber of ac­tive cas­es in the coun­try is 5,327.

The to­tal num­ber of peo­ple in Trinidad and To­ba­go who have test­ed pos­i­tive for COVID-19—from Thurs­day 12 March 2020 to Sat­ur­day 10 Sep­tem­ber 2022—is 181,206.

As of to­day, Sat­ur­day, 216 COVID-19 pa­tients are hos­pi­talised—in hos­pi­tal and step-down fa­cil­i­ties.  Some 5,111 peo­ple are in home self-iso­la­tion.  Mean­while, 17 peo­ple were dis­charged from pub­lic health fa­cil­i­ties, and 210 com­mu­ni­ty cas­es have been cer­ti­fied as re­cov­ered.

Cur­rent­ly, some 716,671 peo­ple in the coun­try—51.2 per cent of the pop­u­la­tion—are ful­ly vac­ci­nat­ed, hav­ing com­plet­ed ei­ther a one-dose or two-dos­es reg­i­men of a COVID-19 vac­cine.  The Min­istry re­minds the pub­lic that a per­son is con­sid­ered to be ful­ly vac­ci­nat­ed two weeks af­ter re­ceiv­ing the fi­nal rec­om­mend­ed dose(s) of a vac­cine or vac­cine com­bi­na­tion ap­proved by the World Health Or­gan­i­sa­tion (WHO).

And some 168,450 peo­ple have re­ceived their boost­er dos­es of a COVID-19 vac­cine, as of to­day, Sat­ur­day, the Min­istry’s up­date re­ports.  Boost­er dos­es are ad­di­tion­al pri­ma­ry dos­es and boost­er dos­es of the COVID-19 vac­cine.
