A 75-year-old man died of the novel coronavirus on Wednesday, raising Macao’s official Covid-19 death toll to 33, the Novel Coronavirus Response and Coordination Centre has announced.

The victim, who had suffered from underlying health problems, had received two Covid-19 jabs.

The first six of the 33 Covid-19 fatalities were reported during Macao’s previous Covid-19 outbreak that began this summer, when the government was pursuing a dynamic zero-Covid policy.

The seventh fatality was reported on 13 December, which came after Macao switched to an adjusted anti-Covid-19 approach that implicitly allows constant transmissions of the novel coronavirus in the community.

In related news, 88 new patients with the novel coronavirus disease were admitted to the Health Bureau’s isolation and treatment facilities on Wednesday, The Macau Post Daily reported.
