COVID infections, hospitalisations climbing – Anthony

Guyana has seen an increase in COVID-19 infections and hospitalisations over the past week, according to Health Minister Dr Frank Anthony.

During a COVID-19 update on Thursday, Anthony said authorities have observed a steady increase in cases and voiced his belief that persons have become a bit complacent in observing the emergency measures.

“So if there is any indicator that we need to become more vigilant again, I think this is it because apart from seeing more cases, we have also seen more hospitalisation,” Anthony said, while noting that there were over 100 persons hospitalised across the country.
