She said that the country recorded 2,458 new cases the previous week.'In their average number of cases from the previous week, we can see that there's a 70 percent increase in the number of cases,' Vergeire pointed out.She attributed the rise in cases to the Omicron subvariants, increased patterns of mobility and the waning immunity of the population due to the slow uptake of boosters.
