*️⃣ COVID-19 : Vaccination updates https://t.co/zZ7b2ywz68

Tonight at 07:17pm, a 79-year-old Maldivian female admitted at DH11 has passed away.

This is the 65th COVID-19 death in the Maldives.

Our thoughts and prayers are with the bereaved family. May Allah grant her soul eternal peace in heaven.

We are concerned that despite a slight decrease in weekly positive cases, flu positivity & active surveillance positivity remain high.
We must be vigilant in our practice of safe behaviors, give proper contact information & avoid:

Visiting family & friends
Having gatherings

The graph depicts positive cases that occur on a weekly basis.

The last week of February saw the greatest increase in cases.

Additional measures, such as prohibiting in-restaurant dining after 8pm, were implemented at this time. https://t.co/BsZYDFuHwK

The graph depicts hospital admissions.

Even though hospital admissions are currently lower than they were in mid-February, they are still significantly higher than they were at the start of the year. https://t.co/IcGOQ4nmjL

The graph depicts the percentage of patients who test positive for symptoms after being tested.

Since February, the average level of flu positivity has stayed at 7%.

When the flu positivity rate exceeds 5%, this is cause for alarm. https://t.co/ooh0ItssV3

The graph represents the positivity of samples obtained during active surveillance.
This removes samples collected in response to symptoms or contact with a positive individual but contains samples collected for travel purposes. https://t.co/Wwsa9b1Ks5

Following a rise in mid-February, there was a small decrease, followed by an increase in cases in the last week.
