Sev­en more peo­ple have died from COVID-19, push­ing up the na­tion­al death toll to 1,318 lives lost, ac­cord­ing to the lat­est up­date from the Min­istry of Health.

And in its up­date for to­day, Fri­day 3rd Sep­tem­ber 2021, the Min­istry al­so re­ports that 239 peo­ple have test­ed pos­i­tive for the dis­ease, based on sam­ples tak­en be­tween Au­gust 30th and Sep­tem­ber 2nd.

The Min­istry says these new pos­i­tive cas­es mean that at this time, there are 3,986 ac­tive cas­es of COVID-19 in the coun­try, but this is a drop from yes­ter­day’s fig­ure of 4,050 ac­tive cas­es.

The to­tal num­ber of pa­tients re­cov­er­ing from COVID-19 al­so has gone up—from 39,700 peo­ple on Sep­tem­ber 2nd, to 39,996 peo­ple to­day, Sep­tem­ber 3rd.

The na­tion­al vac­ci­na­tion pro­gramme con­tin­ues apace, with a to­tal of 408,058 per­sons hav­ing com­plet­ed a vac­ci­na­tion regime (name­ly, both dos­es of a two-dose regime and one dose of a sin­gle-dose regime).  Those who are par­tial­ly vac­ci­nat­ed—or who have re­ceived one dose of a two-dose regime—now stand at 515,595.

The Health Min­istry al­so notes in its up­date:

● 286 per­sons are still hos­pi­talised for COVID-19; up from 264 pa­tients on Thurs­day.

● 3,382 per­sons are in home self-iso­la­tion; down from 3,588 pa­tients on Thurs­day.
