- 3 years ago
The number of Covid-19 cases in categories four and five has increased to 15 percent during the third wave compared to just five percent previously, said Health Minister Dr Adham Baba.
He said that Covid-19 cases during the third wave mostly affected those aged 20 to 40, involving sporadic cases and not linked to any clusters.
“The number of people seeking (treatment) at stages four and five has increased of late. So, I suggest that the public be more cautious because some asymptomatic cases have been detected in these categories.
“Those in categories four and five require oxygen assistance and some need to be ventilated,” he said at a virtual media conference today.
