Tonga’s total COVID-19 cases reached at least 139 on Monday, with the youngest case involving a 5-month-old infant, local media reported, following the emergence of the highly transmissible Omicron variant in the tsunami-hit nation.
Of those cases, 133 were from Tongatapu and six from Vava’u villages.
