More than 100 fixed-site and mobile teams will be in place from tomorrow to push for 40,000 COVID-19 vaccinations in a week as the Ministry of Health (MOH) yesterday warned that the virus had become more virulent and deadlier.
“As in other countries in the region and around the world, COVID-19 is in a new global surge. We recognize the surge in Guyana. But after a year of circulating, the virus among us has become more effective in spreading during this new surge. It has also become more virulent and deadlier. The hospital beds are increasingly becoming occupied with COVID-19 patients who become sicker more rapidly. In addition, the virus is infecting younger people and more young people are getting sicker faster”, the ministry warned as four more deaths were recorded yesterday.
