Over 50 people are presumed to have recovered from Covid-19, Health Minister David Ashford has announced.

Of the 139 confirmed cases in the island, 55 people are presumed to have recovered, leaving 84 active cases in the island.

A further one case was confirmed this afternoon when Mr Ashford confirmed that a further 183 residents are still awaiting test results.

There are still six people having treatment for Covid-19 in hospital. A further 16 people in hospital are awaiting a diagnosis.

The Department of Health and Social Care has said that a ’presumed recovered’ person is someone that tested positive for coronavirus who ’completes the 14 day self-isolation period from the onset of symptoms who is at home on day 15, or an individual who is discharged from hospital following more severe symptoms’.
