Covid rising again in French Polynesia
The number of Covid-19 infections in French Polynesia has surged again - a week after its hospitals recorded their first day without a Covid-19 patient in almost a year.
Over the weekend, another 42 cases were registered and five people have been admitted to hospital in Tahiti and Moorea.
Over the past week, the number of active cases has risen from 12 to 91, attributed to the spread of the Delta variant.
39 percent of the population has received at least one vaccine dose.
Covid-19 re-emerged in the community last August when the border was reopened for quarantine-free travel to boost tourism.
