The tiny territory of Gibraltar has announced a raft of new health updates following a “drastic rise” in Covid-19 cases.
The British-owned peninsula, often referred to as “the most vaccinated place on Earth” for having inoculated the entirety of its adult population, has seen case numbers steadily rise throughout the months of October and November.
Health officials governing the 34,000-strong population believe the sudden re-emergence of the virus to be cause for concern after 124 new cases appeared over the weekend. Gibraltar has seen an average of 56 cases per day over the last seven days, compared to under 10 per day in September.
The number of active cases sits at 474 – roughly 1.3 per cent of the population – as of November 17th. The recent spike is the biggest surge the tiny populous has seen since January 2021.
