The COVID-19 cases increased by 45, up from 235 on Wednesday to 280 on Thursday, even as five persons tested positive for Omicron. There was one death related to COVID on Thursday.
The Omicron cases on Thursday included one person who came from ‘at risk’ country and four from ‘not at risk’ countries. The total number of Omicron cases went up to 67.

There were only 121 COVID cases on Wednesday, 110 on Tuesday and 90 on Monday in GHMC.
