Cumulative COVID-19 Test Results: 49 New Cases Reported April 2 – 4
From April 2 – 4, 2022, the Department of Public Health and Social Services (DPHSS) reported 49 new cases of COVID-19. 21 of the cases reported today is through the Department of Defense.

12 Hospitalized for COVID-19
SPECIAL NOTE: Based on today's data, if we were to compare two (2) hypothetical populations of 100,000 people each, vaccinated versus unvaccinated, there would be 6 vaccinated people hospitalized for COVID-19 compared to 71 unvaccinated people hospitalized for COVID-19. The risk of being hospitalized for COVID-19 is about 12 times higher for the unvaccinated as compared to the vaccinated. *Estimated population is based on DPHSS Immunization Program analysis of 2020 Census data. Updates are expected pending further Census 2020 data breakdown.
