Daily cases keep under 1,000 for a sixth straight day
Meanwhile, the 7-day incidence rate remains on the low side at 5.2 so that reaffirms that the virus situation is keeping more optimistic for the time being. Total active cases is seen easing slightly to ~13,000 - the lowest since August last year.
That said, the delta variant may pose a risk to the outlook going into the summer as medical capacity is still taking time to show further improvement - likely due to hospitals now being freed up to handle other more critical patients.
There were 666 (-27) virus patients requiring intensive care as of yesterday though overall there were 3,916 (16%) intensive care beds still available across the country.
