We ended the week with fewer cases than the week before. On 15 Feb it went as low as 2,176 cases for the day. But don't be fooled by the numbers because this is the holiday week.
The number of tests conducted was significantly lower. For example, on 15 Feb when we had 2,176 cases, the number of tests carried out was about 24,000. This is half the normal number of tests.
The table below shows the comparisons.
- The number of Covid-19 cases for the week was 17 % lower compared to that for the week before
- The number of tests carried out for the week was 24 % lower compared to that carried out for the week before
This is the ex-President Trump famous fewer cases if there were fewer tests phenomenon.
