Of the 229 hospital cases, 171 concern individuals with severe Covid symptoms. Of these, 140 (82 percent) are unvaccinated, while the remaining 31 individuals are fully-vaccinated, the board says.

Thirty-nine new coronavirus case files were opened in hospitals in the past 24 hours (the fall in overall hospitalizations is the result of individuals being discharged from hospital - ed.)

Two people who had contracted Covid passed away in the last 24 hours: A 61-year-old woman and an 85-year-old woman, the Health Board says.

3,464 primary Covid test results were analyzed in the past 24 hours, of which 433 (13 percent) returned positive. There was an almost 50-50 split between vaccinated (214 individuals) and unvaccinated people (219 cases) from the positive results.

344 vaccine doses were administered (Saturday and Sunday are state holidays – ed.), of which 32 were first-time doses.

271,033 people have received booster or third vaccine doses, the board says, while Estonia's total overall vaccination coverage nationwide stands at 61.5 percent.

1,513 coronavirus cases whose genotype indicates the Omicron variant have been detected in Estonia to date.
