Nine new corona cases, one in hospital

After 3,825 tests, 168 the total number of corona cases has now reached 168, as nine tested positive in the past 24 hours.

Seventy-three people have now recovered, which brings the number of active cases to 95.

One corona positive person is hospitalised, and the official number of people in quarantine is now 380.

The daily number of new corona cases in the past week (from last Monday to this morning) has been as follows: 9, 4, 8, 10, 5, 4, 9 and 9. NB: The Chief Medical Officer announces the number of new corona cases every morning. This number is based on tests from the previous day. There are, however, instances where not all tests are fully analysed by the following morning. Results from these tests will be assigned to the day when the test is completed. This may lead to adjustments in the daily numbers after the morning announcement.

The corona helpline on 304040 has changed its operating hours to 8am-4pm on weekdays and 12 noon-3pm on weekends.
