Attached below is the November 22 – November 28 update from ARS Guadeloupe. I've attached most of the update, including the St Martin information,which was available as a text file that I could run through Google Translate. I've left out some of the “boilerplate” in the middle and at the end.
The text states a cumulative total of 1603 cases on St Barth, and 1 new cases in the week, (down from 4 last week).
A few numbers picked out of the text:
897 tests were performed last week, for a total of 57,391.
1 new case was reported out of 344 tests done this week.
The incidence rate was 10.2/100,000, up from 40.8/100,000 last week. The positive test percentage was 0.1%, down from 0.5% last week.
There are no new clusters being investigated.
The count of vaccine injections was not provided by ARS, and I question the vaccination percentages below.
65.78% of the 18+ population has received at least one vaccine shot, and 78.9% of the 12+ population has received at least one vaccine shot.
