The Ministry of Public Health in its daily bulletin said that the pandemic is \u201caccelerating throughout the national territory\u201d and that the number of people infected in 24 hours \u201cfor the first time exceeds the bar of 100 cases to reach 105 new cases for a total of 1,063\u201d.<\/p>\n

As had been the case in previous reports, the Ministry of Health said that men continued to account for the majority of the cases with 60.3 per cent, while women were at 39.7 per cent.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>
\"\"<\/div>\n

The authorities said that the four deaths \u2013 three in the west and the other in Nippes \u2013 brought the total number of people who have died since the first COVID-19 case was recorded on March 19, to 31 and appealed to nationals to continue to follow the various guidelines aimed at curbing the spread of the virus that was first detected in China last year and blamed for 364,000 deaths and 5.5 million others infected worldwide.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

\u201cThe treatment of people infected with COVID-19 is provided free of charge by the Haitian state. The population must continue to follow the instructions of the health authorities. There can be no denial of the epidemic.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe must change our behaviour today\u2026 if you have symptoms related to COVID-19, fever, dry cough, fatigue, contact a health care professional urgently,\u201d said Eddy Jackson Alexis, Secretary of State for Communication<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

The Ministry of Public Health said the number of active cases is now 1,010 with 3,328 suspected cases while 294 people have been hospitalised and 104 people are quarantined at home.<\/p>\n
