An un­vac­ci­nat­ed per­son is the most re­cent vic­tim of COVID-19 in To­ba­go, and theirs is the first record­ed death from the dis­ease in 11 days.  The is­land’s death toll from COVID-19 now stands at 267.

That’s ac­cord­ing to the lat­est up­date from the Di­vi­sion of Health, Well­ness and So­cial Pro­tec­tion, in the To­ba­go House of As­sem­bly (THA), dat­ed Thurs­day 12 May 2022.

Pri­or to yes­ter­day, the most re­cent death on the is­land was re­port­ed al­most two weeks ago, on Sun­day 1 May 2022.  The de­ceased at that time al­so was an un­vac­ci­nat­ed per­son.

The THA Health Di­vi­sion re­port notes that over the past 24 hours, some 63 new pos­i­tive cas­es have been re­port­ed.  There are now 612 cur­rent ac­tive in­fec­tions on the is­land.

The re­port al­so shows that while COVID-19 in­fec­tions in To­ba­go con­tin­ue to climb, pre­vi­ous­ly in­fect­ed peo­ple are re­cov­er­ing from the dis­ease, as some 53 peo­ple were cer­ti­fied as re­cov­ered from COVID-19 over the past 24 hours.  

That means at present, the to­tal num­ber of peo­ple in To­ba­go who have re­cov­ered from COVID-19 since March 2020, now stands at 8,310.

The To­ba­go COVID-19 up­date for 12 May 2022 al­so says that 14 peo­ple cur­rent­ly are hos­pi­talised with COVID-19.  Sev­en of these pa­tients have not been vac­ci­nat­ed at all against the dis­ease, while the oth­er sev­en pa­tients have been ful­ly vac­ci­nat­ed.
