Summary of local situation

• As of 24 August 2021, 12pm, the Ministry of Health (MOH) has confirmed and verified that there are 111 cases of locally transmitted COVID-19 infection and 5 imported cases.
• 24 of the cases are linked to the North Coast Lodge cluster. The testing operations at the dormitory have completed, and all the results have come back. In all, more than 5,300 residents were swabbed over the past 3 days.
• 339 cases are currently warded in hospital. Most are well and under observation. There are currently 20 cases of serious illness requiring oxygen supplementation, and 7 in critical condition in the intensive care unit (ICU).
• Over the last 28 days, the percentage of unvaccinated who became severely ill or died is 8.7%, while that for the fully vaccinated is 1.6%.
• As of 23 August 2021, 78% of our population has completed their full regimen/ received two doses of COVID-19 vaccines, and 82% has received at least one dose.

Update on vaccination progress

As of 23 August 2021, we have administered a total of 8,605,217 doses of COVID-19 vaccines under the national vaccination programme (Pfizer-BioNTech Comirnaty and Moderna), covering 4,482,282 individuals, with 4,251,555 individuals having completed the full vaccination regimen.

2. In addition, 160,649 doses of other vaccines recognised in the World Health Organization’s Emergency Use Listing (WHO EUL) have been administered as of 23 August 2021, covering 85,114 individuals. In total, 78% of our population has completed their full regimen/ received two doses of COVID-19 vaccines, and 82% has received at least one dose.

Condition of hospitalised cases

3. 339 cases are currently warded in hospital. There are currently 20 cases of serious illness requiring oxygen supplementation, and 7 in critical condition in the ICU. Of those who have fallen very ill, 23 are seniors above 60 years, of whom 19 are completely unvaccinated or partially 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 8.7%, while that for the fully vaccinated is 1.6%.

Condition of hospitalised cases

3. 389 cases are currently warded in hospital. There are currently 16 cases of serious illness requiring oxygen supplementation, and 6 in critical condition in the ICU. Of those who have fallen very ill, 16 are seniors above 60 years, of whom 11 are completely unvaccinated or partially 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 9.2%, while that for the fully vaccinated is 1.2%.
