Eleven new cases of the illness were diagnosed on Monday, but all bar one were from people having contact with someone who had already tested positive.

The total number of active cases fell from 366 on Sunday, after 21 people recovered.

There are currently nine people in hospital, two of which do not need clinical care.

The total number of active cases has been rising and falling in recent days, as low numbers of new cases create an erratic graph. An increasing number of people are also starting to recover meaning that there were 366 active cases on Sunday, 362 on Saturday, 368 on Friday, 361 on Thursday and 346 on Wednesday.

The number of cases that come from unknown community sources have also been dropping, to just a few each day.

A press conference, where changes to the current lockdown could be announced, is set to take place at 1pm tomorrow.
