Putting the numbers into context


THE Health Ministry assigns the daily new Covid-19 cases into five categories namely 1 (asymptomatic), 2 (mild symptoms), 3 (pneumonia), 4 (pneumonia and requires oxygen) and 5 (pneumonia and need ventilator support).

This information is now being highlighted in the media with the purpose of putting the “high” number of cases in perspective to curtail unwarranted fear among the public.
