Six Covid-19 patients, two men, and four women are now receiving treatment in the hospital. One of them is on a ventilator, and the rest are on oxygen.
According to official provincial data, 70 tests were conducted between April 10 and April 11, with 17 of them testing positive for Covid-19.
While government-designated isolation facilities are empty, 788 people are isolated at home.
In hospitals, there are a total of 17 individuals receiving care, four of whom are reportedly in severe condition.
According to the latest official figures, the countrywide death toll has surged to 30,654 and the number of confirmed cases stands at 1,580,257 while 1,547, 876 have recovered so far. As of Thursday, the total count of active cases was recorded at 32,381.
