The Department of Health (DOH) logged 10,623 new Covid-19 infections, the highest since it reported 11,101 cases on April 17, and said the spike could be attributed to a number of factors, including the public’s failure to follow health protocols and the spread of the more transmissible Delta variant of the coronavirus.
