Another new case of coronavirus has been confirmed in the island, after the latest government test figures were released on Tuesday afternoon.

However, like with the other four cases confirmed in the last couple of weeks, the person is already self isolating and is not counted as a ’active community case’.

Two returning residents tested positive for Covid-19 on Monday. Both individuals began to experience symptoms after returning to the island and remain in self-isolation. They are the only members of their household.

One of the other confirmed cases was in the prison over the weekend which has led to a lockdown at the jail.
