According to the phases outlined in Brunei’s COVID-19 Vaccination Strategy last month, COVID-19 vaccine injections will be given to frontliners for the first phase and subsequently will be extended to other groups.
“With the commencement of the COVID-19 vaccination program, we will implement post-market surveillance and will actively continue to monitor the safety profile of vaccines,” the health ministry said.
Brunei reported one new confirmed case of COVID-19 on Thursday, bringing the national tally to 213.
According to the health ministry, this new case is being treated and monitored at the National Isolation Center with the other 14 active cases, who are all in a stable condition.
With the detection of this case, a total of 72 imported cases have been confirmed since the last local infection case on May 6, 2020. Brunei has recorded 330 days without local COVID-19 infection cases.
There have been three deaths reported from COVID-19 so far in Brunei.
