Condition of hospitalised cases
3. 443 cases are currently warded in hospital. There are currently 32 cases of serious illness requiring oxygen supplementation, and 8 in critical condition in the ICU. 8 amongst these 40 cases are fully vaccinated.

4. There is continuing evidence that almost all fully-vaccinated individuals do not suffer serious disease when infected, unless if they had underlying medical conditions that made them more susceptible. Over the last 28 days, the percentage of unvaccinated who became severely ill or died is 9.6%, while that for the fully vaccinated is 1.2%.
