There was on­ly one COVID-19 death in To­ba­go last week, a ful­ly vac­ci­nat­ed per­son.  Their death brings the is­land’s death toll from the dis­ease to 282, as at Sat­ur­day, Sep­tem­ber 3.

That’s ac­cord­ing to lat­est week­ly up­date, cov­er­ing the pe­ri­od Sun­day 28 Au­gust to Sat­ur­day 3 Sep­tem­ber 2022, from the Di­vi­sion of Health, Well­ness and So­cial Pro­tec­tion, in the To­ba­go House of As­sem­bly (THA).

In the pre­vi­ous week (Sun­day 21 to Sat­ur­day 27 Au­gust 2022), two ful­ly vac­ci­nat­ed peo­ple had lost their lives to COVID-19.

In ad­di­tion, the THA Health Di­vi­sion re­port notes 53 more peo­ple test­ed pos­i­tive for COVID-19 in To­ba­go, last week. The num­ber of ac­tive in­fec­tions, as at Sat­ur­day, Sep­tem­ber 3, was 122.  This is a drop from the pre­vi­ous week (Au­gust 21 to 27, 2022), at which time there were 137 ac­tive cas­es.
