Oman reports 37 deaths, 982 new cases

Muscat: The Ministry of Health (MOH) on Tuesday reported 982 new cases and 37 deaths over the past 24 hours.

The total number of cases registered in the Sultanate has now reached 287,054, including 3,482 deaths.

122 patients were admitted to hospitals across the country in the last 24 hours, taking the total number of inpatients to 1,290 including 458 in intensive care units.

The total number of recoveries is 260,826 while the recovery rate is 90.9 percent.

With the vaccination drive getting momentum and new regulations announced last week by the Supreme Committee to be implemented ahead of the Eid holidays in the Sultanate, a substantial drop in the covid related mortality figures and cases since July 4 is a sign of relief.

The Ministry of Health (MoH) on Monday reported 1,167 new cases and 12 deaths. The number of sick patients or active cases also dropped to 23,807 (8.7 percent) from over 30,000 and 10 percent on July 4.
