Dear Editor,
In the last seven days: 25 Guyanese died from COVID-19; 821 Guyanese tested positive for COVID-19 (and May is now the top month for infections with 3,320— with 4 days left to be counted); Guyana is averaging 117 confirmed cases a day; the positivity rate has been above 11% each day of the last seven days; the ICU is averaging almost 21 persons per day; persons in Institutional Isolation have averaged 102; on average 1,849 persons have been in Home Isolation; and quite alarming: a week ago the Dashboard showed on May 21 that 59 more females were infected with the COVID-19 virus than males (in contrast, on December 29 the Dashboard showed 219 more males were infected than females), today, seven days later, that number has more than doubled to 122 more females infected than males.
The article Ministry of Health had enough time to plan based on male-to-female Covid-19 infection ratio appeared first on Stabroek News.
