Again, there has been a rise in active cases and new cases since his update.

Currently, the number of active and new cases stand at 1,228 and 56 respectively.

Per the GHS website, this brings the total confirmed cases to 94,824. But despite the rise in total cases, some 92,806 patients have recovered and been discharged from various health centres.
