Average active COVID-19 cases for 14-20 November is showing a 6% increase versus the previous week. Meanwhile, COVID-19 deaths, ICU and ventilator usage continue to show a downward trend.

In a statement, Dr Noor Hisham said that the average of active cases last week had increased by six per cent compared to the week before — with November 15 marking five weeks since state borders reopened.However, Dr Noor Hisham said that many of the main indicators for COVID-19 infections showed a trend of reduction, such as the number of people dying from the disease, and average intensive care unit bed usage as well as average ventilator usage in hospitals.

“The increase in these community clusters is not something that can be taken lightly given that individuals of various age groups live together in the same household. However, total active clusters saw a reduction of 13.7 per cent, from 278 cases two weeks ago to 240 cases last week — largely attributable to a drop in clusters at workplaces and educational institutions.
