The government has reported a surge in serious Covid-19 infections and deaths, just as the country is seeing a rebound in foreign tourist arrivals that’s likely to gain further momentum into the holiday season.
An average of 702 Covid patients were hospitalised a day in the week ended Nov 26, almost double the number from the start of the month, the Health Ministry said on Monday. A total of 74 people died during the period, up from 40 people in the week ended Nov 5, it said.
