There were no new deaths from COVID-19 in To­ba­go last week—and the is­land’s death toll from the dis­ease re­mains at 287, as at Sat­ur­day, No­vem­ber 19.

That’s ac­cord­ing to the lat­est week­ly up­date from the Di­vi­sion of Health, Well­ness and So­cial Pro­tec­tion, in the To­ba­go House of As­sem­bly (THA), cov­er­ing the pe­ri­od Sun­day 13 to Sat­ur­day 19 No­vem­ber 2022.

The most re­cent COVID-19-re­lat­ed death was re­port­ed the pre­vi­ous week (6-12 No­vem­ber 2022).  At that time, the de­ceased was said to be an un­vac­ci­nat­ed per­son.  That death was the first re­port­ed in three weeks.

The THA Health Di­vi­sion re­port notes three more peo­ple test­ed pos­i­tive for COVID-19 in To­ba­go, last week. The num­ber of ac­tive in­fec­tions was five, as at Sat­ur­day, No­vem­ber 19. This rep­re­sents a sig­nif­i­cant drop from the pre­vi­ous week (No­vem­ber 6-12, 2022), at which time there were 15 ac­tive cas­es.

In ad­di­tion, the Health Di­vi­sion con­firms that for the sec­ond con­sec­u­tive week, there are no pa­tients hos­pi­talised for COVID-19, as of No­vem­ber 19. 

The To­ba­go COVID-19 up­date al­so re­ports that pa­tients con­tin­ue to sur­vive the dis­ease as 13 peo­ple were cer­ti­fied as re­cov­ered from COVID-19 dur­ing the pe­ri­od No­vem­ber 13-19, 2022.

A to­tal of 10,969 in To­ba­go have re­cov­ered from COVID-19 since March 2020—up from 10,956 the pre­vi­ous week.
