FOR A THIRD STRAIGHT WEEK, there were no new COVID-19 deaths re­port­ed in To­ba­go, with the is­land’s death toll from the dis­ease re­main­ing at 286, as at Sat­ur­day, No­vem­ber 5.

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 30 Oc­to­ber to Sat­ur­day 5 No­vem­ber 2022.

The most re­cent­ly record­ed COVID-19-re­lat­ed death was that of an un­vac­ci­nat­ed per­son dur­ing the week of Oc­to­ber 9 to 15, 2022.

In ad­di­tion, the THA Health Di­vi­sion re­port notes eight more peo­ple test­ed pos­i­tive for COVID-19 in To­ba­go, last week. The num­ber of ac­tive in­fec­tions, as at Sat­ur­day, No­vem­ber 5, was 42. This rep­re­sents a sig­nif­i­cant drop from the pre­vi­ous week (Oc­to­ber 23-29, 2022), at which time there were 58 ac­tive cas­es.

The Health Di­vi­sion re­ports that on­ly one pa­tient—an un­vac­ci­nat­ed per­son—re­mained hos­pi­talised for COVID-19, as of No­vem­ber 5.

The To­ba­go COVID-19 up­date al­so re­ports that pa­tients con­tin­ue to sur­vive the dis­ease as 24 peo­ple were cer­ti­fied as re­cov­ered from COVID-19 dur­ing the pe­ri­od Oc­to­ber 30 to No­vem­ber 5, 2022.
