SANTIAGO, July 27 (Xinhua) -- Chile recorded on Tuesday 753 new COVID-19 infections in the last 24 hours, the lowest daily number since April 2020, Health Minister Enrique Paris said.

With this figure, the South American country's total caseload reached 1,611,090, and 32 more deaths were recorded in the last day, bringing the death toll to 35,151.

In a statement, the official noted that the national positivity rate was 2.17 percent in the last day, with the Aysen region reporting no cases, on which he congratulated.

Since early June, Chile has experienced a steady decline in COVID-19 cases and is reporting less than 1,500 cases per day on average to date.

Meanwhile, vaccination against COVID-19 in several regions has fully immunized over 80 percent of the target population across the country. Enditem
