Ministry says preliminary virus test positivity rate over 4% for Sunday

The Health Ministry announces that there have been 870 new coronavirus cases so far on Sunday, as of 5:50 p.m., with 4.1 percent of all tests thus far coming back positive.

The preliminary figures eclipse even those seen on Saturday, when 3.9% came back positive, though weekend testing numbers are often lower and are thus sometimes skewed.

The death toll has risen to 2,915.

The number of seriously ill patients is 329, of whom 85 are on ventilators.
