The numbers might not reflect it at a glance but the COVID-19 surge may be tapering off, one of the Government’s top COVID-19 fighters said Friday, as he eyed a key indicator of the virus’ likely spread.
Senior Medical Officer Dr Anton Best said he had reached his conclusion based on decreasing positivity rates within the last two weeks.
The positivity rate is the percentage of positive virus tests among all virus tests performed, both positives and negatives. The number may reflect the level of community transmission.
