The Rupununi’s COVID-19 tally surged in June , 2021 with almost 700 cases recorded for that month alone. To date , the Rupununi region has recorded 1629 positive COVID-19 cases with multiple deaths.

The village of St Ignatius has the highest number of active COVID-19  cases; more than 48 active cases were reported on July 1, 2021. Nearby Tabatinga has over 35 active cases.

The Ministry of Health will this weekend undertake a vaccination campaign at the Lethem Regional Hospital. Region Nine Chairman, Bryan Allicock has told another section of the media that the sharp rise in cases may be attributed to frequent house parties hosted by residents.
