Covid cases in the Bailiwick surpass 80
THE number of known cases of Covid-19 in the Bailiwick has now risen to 84.
Yesterday there were 62 cases reported, and no recoveries have been made overnight.
However, all those in hospital who were Covid-19 positive have now been discharged.
Prior to that, 10 cases were found on Monday, three of which were from an unknown community source.
45 cases were picked up over the weekend, with four having an unknown community source.
At yesterday's press briefing, the director of Public Health Dr Nicola Brink explained how the classification of 'unknown community source' cases could change as more data becomes available on their movement/contact history.
155 people are still awaiting results, and more than 39,000 samples have been tested.
As of 25 January, 30 cases were linked to eight education settings but it is not yet clear how many of the 22 new cases from the last day can be traced back to schools, colleges or early years providers.
The latest Covid figures follow an announcement from the States of Alderney president William Tate that there is 'significant risk' of infection in the island's community, although no known cases of the virus have been confirmed.
