Preliminary COVID-19 Test Results: 12 New Cases Reported
Today, the Department of Public Health and Social Services (DPHSS) reported a preliminary case count of 12 new cases of COVID-19 from 188 specimens analyzed on April 8, 2022. To date, there have been a total of 47,553 officially reported cases, 352 deaths, 317 cases in active isolation, and 46,884 not in active isolation.
Nine 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 5 vaccinated people hospitalized for COVID-19 compared to 36 unvaccinated people hospitalized for COVID-19. The risk of being hospitalized for COVID-19 is about 7 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.
