Africa-Press – Seychelles. <\/strong><\/span>522 active cases<\/b><\/p>\n

The number of active cases of Covid-19 in the country stood at 522 on Thursday May 19, 2022 and the seven-day moving average is presently 47.<\/b><\/p>\n

Baie Ste Anne on Praslin still has the highest number of reported current active cases \u2012 50 \u2012 followed by Grand Anse Praslin with (42) cases. On La Digue, the number of active cases is down to 17.<\/p>\n

The cumulative number of Covid-19 cases stands at 43,729 among which 40,040 have recovered, 522 remain active and 167 have died.<\/p>\n

Mahe has a total of 412 actives cases, Praslin \u2012 92, La Digue \u2012 17, and the other islands, specifically Round Island \u2012 1.<\/p>\n

The districts on Mahe with most active cases are Perseverance and Baie Lazare with (30) cases each.<\/p>\n

Presently there are 11 patients admitted at the Covid-19 treatment facilities on Mahe.<\/p>\n

Of concern is an increasing trend of reinfection, especially among people who are unvaccinated and those who have not taken a third dose.<\/p>\n

The Ministry of Health is once again calling on everyone who is due for the Covid-19 vaccination primary or booster dose to visit a vaccination centre. Vaccination remains a valuable tool in the combat of Covid-19.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, 81% of the total population of 99,258 eligible for vaccination against Covid-19 have completed the first two doses as at May 19, 2022.<\/p>\n

In total, 84,828 people have taken a first dose, 80,624 have taken two doses, 38,150 have had a third booster dose and 1,671 have taken a fourth dose.<\/p>\n
