The Ministry of Health recorded 13 new cases of COVID-19 on Wednesday October 28 and 24 cases on Thursday October 29.
The total number of recorded cases in Guyana is now 4,098.
The death toll has risen to 124 with the deaths of 65-year-old woman from Region Four and a 64-year-old man from Region One on Wednesday.
As of October 29 there have been 18,009 persons tested for the virus. The number of active cases in the country is 820.
The COVID-19 guidelines for November are currently being developed by the National COVID-19 Task Force.
The Task Force is considering several requests made by stakeholders.
Minister of Health, Dr. Frank Anthony, said the new measures will be similar to those already in place.
“There would be a few adjustments, but the measures would pretty much be similar to what we have now. A number of stakeholders would have met at various times during the past month with the Task Force, [and] brought to our attention a number of areas that they think we should change. We have listened to those suggestions and done some assessments.”
The Minister hopes that a decision will be made by Friday and the new guidelines can be put into effect on Sunday. The current guidelines will remain in effect until October 31 with curfew hours from 9pm to 4am.
