The number of new infections has slightly gone up for the fourth day in a row.

Over the past 24 hours, 1,017 new cases have been confirmed following 4,197 tests, which means the percentage of positive tests is 24.2%, an increase from Friday when 949 new cases were confirmed and the percentage of positive tests was 21.4%.

The death toll has increased to 4,258, and it is estimated that there are 9,640 active cases in the country.
