The Ministry of Health have now ceased providing regular COVID-19 updates to the public after three (3) years, two (2) months, and nine (9) days since the first update was issued on 4th March 2020. The Ministry said today (Friday 12th May 2023) as a result of a low level of circulation in Trinidad and Tobago with low numbers of cases, deaths, hospitalizations, and positivity, the COVID-19 updates in their current format would no longer be issued.
The 7-day rolling average of COVID-19 cases, which is the number of new COVID-19 cases recorded daily during the 7-day-period between 29th April through 12th May 2023, is ten (10). That figure is down from two (2) weeks ago, when the Ministry recorded thirteen (13) cases per day on average. It is the lowest rolling average in over two (2) years, when it was ten (10) on 22nd March 2021. Within the last two (2) weeks, the Ministry said there has only been one COVID-19-related death. The positivity rate is 6.7%, which means for every patient tested at public and private healthcare facilities, 6.7 out of every 100 people were positive. The Ministry notes there are currently no patients in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) or the High Dependency Unit (HDU) for the second fortnightly period in a row, with an average of nineteen (19) patients in Hospitals across the parallel and hybrid healthcare systems. Over the course of 1,250 COVID-19 Media Releases from the Ministry of Health, T&T has recorded over 191,000 confirmed COVID-19 cases and 4,391 COVID-19 deaths.
