100 COVID positive patients are currently admitted in hospital.

According to the Health Ministry, none are in critical or severe condition.

Permanent Secretary for Health Dr James Fong says there is a downward trend in daily hospitalisations.

He says anyone admitted to the hospital is tested before admission, therefore, a significant number of people are admitted to the hospital for non-covid health conditions, but incidentally, test positive due to the high amount of transmission in the community.

Dr Fong adds the number of people being admitted because of COVID-19 remains low.
