Of the newly-confirmed cases, 234 cases were recorded in unvaccinated or not fully vaccinated people, while 696 were fully vaccinated. Monday's figure is usually the lowest of the week, due to a reduced number of tests being carried out on Sundays.
Out of 3,202 tests carried out in the past 24 hours, 29% were positive. The 14-day cumulative incidence rate per 100,000 of the population declined further from 2,550 Sunday to 2,488 Monday. Since the beginning of the pandemic, 791,550 Covid-19 cases have now been recorded among Latvia's 1.9 million population.
