RISING COVID-19 CASES IN MARSHALL ISLANDS

  • 15/08/2022

The Marshall Islands have seen a dramatic increase in the number of Covid-19 infections, just days after the Pacific region saw the virus spread locally for the first time.

Since Friday, the overall number of cases has nearly doubled in Majuro, the capital city.

According to the most recent statistics, one in ten city residents have recently become infected.

About 75% of tests nationwide, according to Health Secretary Jack Niedenthal's statement on Sunday, were positive.

Early in the epidemic, a few Pacific islands were successful in preventing the spread of the coronavirus by enforcing rigorous regulations.
