The Ministry of Health has recorded three new cases of COVID-19.

Permanent Secretary for Health Doctor James Fong says the new cases were recorded in the Western Division.

He says this brings the total number of active COVID-19 cases to four in the country.

Dr Fong says the resurgence in influenza-like illness and acute respiratory illness continues.

According to Dr Fong, there are now indications of another outbreak of flu-like illness, similar to the FluA/H1 Pdm virus outbreak earlier this year.

He says the Influenza B/Victoria is now the predominant influenza strain in circulation and advises members of the public to stay at home when feeling unwell or wear face coverings (masks) when going outside in order to minimize the spread of infection.

Dr Fong says people must seek medical attention if they develop symptoms such as difficulty breathing, shortness of breath, pain or heaviness in chest, persistent fever (more than three days despite home treatment), very high temperature (over 40 degrees Celsius), confusion and persistent drowsiness, severe headache, severe vomiting, stiff neck, skin rash, rapid heart rate, uncontrollable shivering or muscle spasms.
