He also confirmed that the six patients are spread across six different hospitals, and that four patients are being treated in intensive care, down from 160 at the peak of the pandemic.
“We all don’t want this trend to go back up. Let’s all keep fighting hard against this virus,” Reid tweeted.
Last night, the National Public Health Emergency Team confirmed 14 new cases of the virus, but no new deaths.
