Tunisia continues to record new highs in the number of new coronavirus infections. The Ministry of Health reported more than 9,800 new cases yesterday – a new high.
Already the day before, with more than 7,900 new infections, more cases than ever before had been registered. At the same time, 134 people died from or with the virus.
The situation in the North African country has been deteriorating drastically for weeks. Cases of the particularly contagious delta variant have also been registered. In June alone, there had been more than 2,000 coronavirus deaths.
Many clinics have no more free beds, and there is a shortage of medical equipment. More than one in three tests in Tunisia is positive. The country is making slow progress in vaccinating. Only five percent of the population has been fully vaccinated so far.
