However, on the flip side, fatalities have spiked with a total of 81 deaths reported in the last 48 hours, all of which occurred last week.

The regional Ministry of Health has reported 18,561 new Covid cases in the last 24 hours, down from 30,585 on Tuesday January 25 and significantly lower than the 57,607 infections reported over the weekend. This brings the total number of positives since the beginning of the pandemic to 1,042,143.
