Three of these were recorded in Region One, two in Region Two, four in Region Three, 28 in Region Four, four in Region Six, and two in Region 10.

Currently, five persons are in the COVID-19 Intensive Care Unit (ICU), 51 persons are in institutional isolation, 780 persons in home isolation, and 14 persons in institutional quarantine.

The number of active cases is now back to 850, with 212 tests carried out within the past 24 hours.
The number of recorded COVID-19 fatalities remains at 180.
All Guyanese are urged to observe the protocols of the COVID-19 emergency measures, which emphasise the need for correct and consistent use of a face mask when leaving your home, the importance of maintaining the six feet physical distance from others, and the need for good hand-hygiene to help reduce the spread of the virus.
