A 55-year-old woman who was receiving coronavirus treatment at the Medical Research Council in Fajara has died of coronavirus, swollen up the nation’s virus disease deaths to 122.

The country has been experiencing sharp rise in coronavirus infection with minimal deaths in the past weeks, as almost all restriction measures to stop the spread of the virus are relaxed and wearing of facemasks is abandoned by most people.

“1 new COVID-19 related death recorded, bringing the death toll to 122 – a crude case-fatality ratio of 3.3%. The new decedent was a 55 – year – old female who had been admitted at the MRC Fajara Clinic’s ‘Suspected Bay’ for a serious comorbid condition,” the ministry of health said.
